Mistaken poll. A local TV station conducted aPulsePoll about the upcoming mayoral election.Evening news viewers were invited to phone in theirvotes, with the results to be announced on the late-night news. Based on the phone calls, the station pre-dicted that Amabo would win the election with 52% ofthe vote. They were wrong: Amabo lost, getting only46% of the vote. Do you think the stations faulty pre-diction is more likely to be a result of bias or samplingerror? Explain.
