Question 2

At a lunch meeting with a client, the CEO of Gossip Polls, Inc, was asked to determine America's favorite day of the week. Hundreds of Gossip employees across the U.S. started collecting data immediately, calling people at their residences. One hour later, the attitudes from 10,000 Americans, across all 50 states, were collected. A staff member called the CEO, still at her lunch meeting, to tell her the results of the poll: America's favorite day of the week is Monday. Given your text's discussion of inductive reasoning in science, we might suspect that the observations in this poll are not representative because
 
  a. the participants were only asked one question for this poll.
  b. the participants were not sufficiently geographically diverse.
  c. the people who are home to answer the phone in the early afternoon are not an appropriate cross-section of the U.S. population.
  d. everyone in America was not asked their opinion.
