A sociologist studying freshmen at a major university carried out a survey, asking (among other questions) how often students went out per week, how many hours they studied per day, and how many hours they slept at night. The sociologist decides to use his introductory sociology class to conduct the survey. If the survey is not representative of the freshmen at the university, the conclusions from the study are likely to be: on target. biased. overefficient. None of the answer options is correct.
