If we have a large voluntary response sample consisting of weights of subjects who chose to respond to a survey posted on the Internet, can a graph help to overcome the deficiency of having a voluntary response sample?
A.
No, a graph cannot help to overcome the deficiency. If the sample
is a bad sample, there are no graphs or other techniques that can
be used to salvage the data.
B.
Yes, a graph can help to overcome the deficiency. Any graph that
is given with a sufficiently accurate description of any
deficiencies in the sampling technique is no longer considered
biased.
C.
Yes, a graph can help to overcome the deficiency. Certain graphs
that hide any specific values in the data, such as pie charts,
can be used to hide deficiencies in the sampling technique.
D.
No, a graph cannot help to overcome the deficiency. Before
graphing, all inaccurate values and outliers must be removed from
the data set.
