Answer:

<em>The sample may be a representative of the future of the future subjects, but the test results and confidence interval are suspect because it is not a random sample </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When the subjects used for a research are not a random sample but friends whom share similar qualities/quantities related to the purpose of the experiment. The sample may be a representative of the future subjects, but the test results and confidence interval will not be reliable enough to be accepted as standard simply because it was not a random sample

Hence the comment <em>:The sample may be a representative of the future of the future subjects, but the test results and confidence interval are suspect because it is not a random sample </em>
