On the basis of the results, the magazine predicted that Candidate A would win with 57% of the popular vote. However, Candidate B won the election with about 62% of the popular vote. At the time of this poll, most subscribers to the magazine belonged to the party of Candidate A. Name two biases that led to this incorrect prediction. Choose the correct answer below. A. Nonresponse bias: The low response rate caused bias. Response bias: The way the poll was administered showed bias. B. Sampling bias: Using an incorrect frame led to undercoverage. Nonresponse bias: The low response rate caused bias. C. Sampling bias: Using an incorrect frame led to undercoverage. Response bias: The way the poll was administered showed bias.
