During a one- week period, 147 customers were surveyed and 135 (93%) reported they were either Satisfied or Very Satisfied. How might the results be biased in obtaining an estimate of all customers who are satisfied with service? O Because of response bias, the survey results may overestimate the true proportion of satisfied customers. O Because of response bias, the survey results may underestimate the true proportion of satisfied customers. O Because of voluntary response bias, the survey results may overestimate the true proportion of satisfied customers.
