If sample bias exists, then we can easily trust using the sample as representative of the

whole population. True or False

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sample is biased, then it does not represent the population. A biased sample favors one or more groups over others.

For example, if the sample consisted of only men, then the sample is biased toward men and leaves out women from the group. Hence, this sample does not represent everyone.
