To estimate the proportion of city residents who shop online, a researcher visits a mall on a weekday morning and

asks people she encounters to share their experiences with online shopping, including this question: "Do you shop

online at least once each week?" The results show that 32% of shoppers shop online at least once per week. Which

of these describes a likely source of bias present in the survey results?

O Response bias may be present because people may not be truthful with their responses.

O Question wording bias may be present because the question asked may exclude important information

O Nonresponse bias may be present because people in a mall may not want to answer questions.

O Undercoverage bias may be present because people in the workforce and many younger people could be

excluded
