Kenneth collected data from a random sample of 800 voters in his city asking whether or not they would vote to reelect the current governor. Based on the results, he reports that 64% of the voters in his state would vote to reelect the current governor. Why is this statistic misleading?

Answer:

the sample is bias

Explanation:

  • Here the surveyor is deliberately pushing an agenda, asking whether they will vote to re-elect the current governor, a more neutral question without promoting any agenda.
  • Ways can be asked, further resolutions can be made using the information gathered for the candidate and the current governor with whom he prefers.
  • so correct answer is the sample is bias
