Data, Sampling, and Variation in Data and Sampling · Exercise 59

Imagine you work for a polling company and a member of your team has proposed the following survey question:
“Do you feel happy paying your taxes while some politicians are allowed to use loopholes and avoid paying their fair share of taxes?”
As part of preliminary data collection, 11 people responded to this question. Each participant answered “NO!”
Which of the potential problems with samples discussed in this module could explain this connection?

Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
