Answer:

selection bias.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selection bias occurs when sample selection of people to represent a population does not contain the expected representation for the study. Selection Bias can happen when there is sampling and selection error for population analysis, leading to wrong conclusions due to lack of correct randomization.
