Question

A school newspaper is going to investigate students’
perceptions regarding the campus security guards. They

plan to survey 100 students at the school. The editor-in-
chief tells his staff that he is worried about undercov-
erage bias created by chronically truant students. His

concern is. . .
a) unwarranted because some students may refuse to
participate and that is inevitable.
b) justified because chronically truant students will be

difficult to survey and will probably have a dispropor-
tionately negative view of the security guards.

c) unwarranted because students who cannot be sur-
veyed are not a part of the population of interest.

d) unwarranted because students who cannot be sur-
veyed are not a part of the sample.

e) justified because people need to be forced to answer a
survey in order for the results to be valid.
