this survey conducted between 2000 and 2007, it was found that in youth ages 13-15, 12 percent of boys and 7
percent of girls reported smoking cigarettes. This information was shared and reported on the American Cancer
Society website. The information was then used by several industries in the fields of health care, insurance, and
education.
What is a reason that these data may be unreliable?

One reason that the data may be unreliable is that the kid could have been lying in fear their parents or someone in authority would find out.
