In relation to the opinions of the population of the region, which of the following is a possible reason why the results of such surveys could be biased?
I. Viewers with strong opinions about the current issue are more likely to respond than are viewers without strong opinions.
II. The opinions of viewers of one television station are not necessarily representative of the population of a region.
III. Viewers with access to social media are not necessarily representative of the population of a region.

Answer 1

Answer:

II

Step-by-step explanation:

The opinions of viewers of one television station are not necessarily representative of the population of a region.

Say a community has a thousand people, not everyone of those people would watch that exact station, among those that do watch which would be a few percentage, only a few also would even care to participate in the said survey.

You can't take a survey based on the responses gotten on just one station
