Amusement Park W is in California. Amusement Park X is in Texas. A survey asks 1,000 people living in California if they prefer Amusement Park W or X. Which problem exists with this survey?

Information bias occurs when the data collected is inaccurate due to faulty data collection methods or participant misrepresentation. In this case, while the survey may gather accurate responses from California residents, it fails to account for preferences from a wider audience, leading to a misrepresentation of overall preference rather than an issue with the accuracy of the collected information itself.

Measurement bias refers to errors introduced by the tools or methods used to gather data, which can skew results. However, in this survey, the measurement method (asking people about their preferences) is consistent; it is the selection of respondents that is biased. Thus, this bias does not pertain to the measurement aspect itself.

Random error involves variability in data that arises due to chance, affecting the reliability of results. This survey's problem is not random; it's systematic due to the deliberate exclusion of Texas residents. Random errors would not consistently skew results in one direction, whereas the survey's design inherently favors responses from California residents.
