A researcher interested in Cleansburg citizens' attitudes toward a revitalized downtown area surveys a randomly selected group of 200 downtown office workers. 66% of those surveyed indicated they are in favor of revitalizing the downtown area.

This conclusion might be invalid because: there was no control group. the sample is not representative of the population. 66% is not exactly two thirds. the size of the sample is too small. None of the above
