Answer to Question 1

The sample of shoppers who responded was a self-selected sample, so the results cannot be generalized to any larger population.

Answer to Question 2

The sample of students who respond will be based on a volunteer response. The sample of respondents may not be representative of the opinion of all students in the university. Those who want more evening classes are probably more likely to respond.
