When some members of the population don't have a chance of being selected to be sampled
Can show cause and effect
What is Experiment?

Which two samples are ineffective and unreliable?
What are Convenience and Voluntary Response?
Lying, intimidation, and confusing/leading questions are all examples of what?

Bias affects the true proportion of results in an experiment by one of these two ways
