Answer 1

The sample in the survey is biased because it only includes employees who already prefer to start work at 7:00 a.m. This means that the results do not accurately represent all employees' preferences at the company, as those who prefer to start work at 9:00 a.m. are not included in the survey. In order to have a more accurate representation of all employees' preferences, the company should have sent the survey to 300 randomly selected employees who prefer to start work at 9:00 a.m.
