"900" Numbers In a ABC Nightline poll, 186,000 viewers each paid 50 cents to call a "900" telephone number with their opinion about keeping the United Nations in the United States. The results showed that 67% of those who called were in favor of moving the United Nations out of the United States.

Answer:

These results are not representative of the population.

Explanation:

This is an example of a biased poll, since the people were not randomly chosen from a population but rather the people themselves paid to participate and give their opinion on the matter of keeping the United Nations in the United States.

Therefore, these results are not representative of the entire population.
