Answer to Problem AP3.6CPT
The correct option is (d)the poll uses voluntary response so the results tell us little about all American adults.
Explanation of Solution
The selection or the bias which are under coverage will explode the part of the populations.
Measurements or response bias will also use a method that gives different values from the true values. The Non response is the results of the data which is not available for everybody in the sample.
Since anyone can become the part of the sample just by clicking the response, the sample is the response as voluntary and this will strongly suffers from selection bias that implies that the results would not tell us much about all the Americans.
So the poll uses voluntary response so the results tell us little about all American adults.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is (d)the poll uses voluntary response so the results tell us little about all American adults.
