<em>The sample does not represent the population as a researcher is taking a sample from the hospital where the cholesterol level of the patient is generally high and the researcher is not randomly selecting the U.S. citizens.</em>
Thus, option (B) is correct.

The sample is said to be representative if it represents the whole population.
If a track team is running a relay race, shouldnt they be running the same distance? The fourth person who runs is going to be running alot more than everyone else.
