A restaurant chain’s owners are trying to decide if they want to open up a franchise in your town. To help them decide, they want to find out how often people in your town go out to eat. A researcher interviews people leaving a local restaurant. Is there a bias in this sampling method? Explain full sentences
Yes, there is a bias in this sampling method. By only interviewing people leaving a local restaurant, the researcher is only capturing the opinions of individuals who are more likely to eat out frequently. This may not be representative of the entire population in the town, as there may be a significant portion of people who do not dine out as often. To get a more accurate understanding of the dining habits of the town's residents, the researcher should consider interviewing a more diverse group of people, including those who may not dine out frequently.
