In the College of Engineering exams aren't proctored. Students are required to write out the University honor code. They sign their name to pledge that they didn't cheat. But the engineering professors cannot observe if students cheat or not. One way to collect data on this topic would be to use an exit poll: Have a Graduate Student Instructor ask the students if they cheated on the exam after the student has left the exam room. The results of this study, if applied to all students in the College of Engineering, are questionable because of
 a. lack of accuracy.
  b. selection bias.
  c. nonresponse bias.
  d. response bias.

Question 2

A weight-loss company is trying to promote its product. Based on a sample of 10 of their clients they model the relationship between starting weight and weight after 4 weeks using their product. It turns out that these 10 clients were selected because they had lost a decent amount of weight in 4 weeks. Clients who had lost hardly any weight or even gained weight were not included for this study. The results of this study, if applied to all clients, are questionable because of
 a. lack of accuracy.
  b. selection bias.
  c. nonresponse bias.
  d. response bias.
