Answer 1

When selecting a sample for a survey, the way you choose your sample: A) may lead to biased results.

Explanation:

The way you choose your sample matters a lot in order to help limit the bias in sampling data.

There are four types of random samples: simple, stratified, cluster, and systematic.

There are two types of non-random samples: voluntary response and convenience.

You always want to have a random sample in order to have accurate, non-biased results. Therefore, A) May lead to biased results is the best answer.
