Q. For a statistics project, Julie distributed a questionnaire and asked her classmates to fill it out. 1212 of them did.\newlineIs this sample of the students in the class likely to be biased?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)yes\newline(B)no
  1. Analyze Sampling Method: Analyze the sampling method used by Julie.\newlineJulie asked her classmates to fill out a questionnaire, and 1212 of them did. Since she did not use a random sampling method, the students who chose to respond might have different opinions or characteristics compared to those who did not respond.
  2. Determine Sample Representation: Determine if the sample is representative.\newlineThe sample consists only of students who decided to participate, which may not represent the entire class. This could introduce bias in the results, as it might reflect the views of a specific group of students more willing to participate.
