During a televised debate on a contentious

political issue, the moderator asked viewers to
participate in a poll on the network's website,
posing the question, "Should the government
increase taxes to fund healthcare reform?" At
the conclusion of the debate, the moderator
announced that 60% of respondents voted
"Yes," while 40% voted "No." Which of the
following best explains why these poll results
may not accurately reflect the sentiments of the
entire population?

A) The website crashed during the debate,

preventing some viewers from participating in
the poll. − x + y = 4 − − − −l1
