Based on her results, she makes a prediction about which candidate will win the election. Comment on the fairness of her prediction. What might she do to improve her poll?

What will be an ideal response?


Her poll may be biased. In particular, it is probably biased towards that portion of the population with ages between about 18 and 22. To improve the poll, she must poll persons in other age ranges and in different circumstances of employment and education.
