Answer:

The sampling method described is likely to be biased.

Explanation:

The survey shown above is a survey classified as a voluntary response survey. This type of research tends to have a strong statistical bias, especially when the answer involves personal opinions of the individuals who are answering the question. This is because this type of research, when a simple random sample is not established, tends to attract people with negative opinions on the topic.

Ideally, the program should have carried out a simple random sample, selecting viewers at random to respond to the survey.

KiRa [710]

Answer: B. Spain signed treaties to maintain good relations with American Indians.

Explanation:

The Spanish took over the Louisiana Territory from France around the time the French and Indian War was coming to a close and they found a diverse mix of Native Americans, French people and people of African descent.
