A researcher is conducting a survey among students to determine their mean age. Data is collected by asking the age of a simple random sample of 150 students. The researcher simply asked the ages of these students. The results of this study, if applied to all students in the university, are questionable because of
 a. lack of accuracy.
  b. selection bias.
  c. nonresponse bias.
  d. response bias.

Question 2

People claim that only 5 of the students who take the introductory statistics course will continue their education in statistics. The Statistics Department believes that this value is too low and decides to take a sample of 20 students out of the 315 students registered that semester. Of the 20 students, 7 (or 35) say they will continue to study more statistics. It turns out that the 20 students selected for this study were those that received the highest scores on the first quiz. The results of this study, if applied to all students who take the introductory statistics course, are questionable because of
 a. lack of accuracy.
  b. selection bias.
  c. nonresponse bias.
  d. response bias.
