It is not a valid sample because it is not a random sample of the population. It is a valid sample because money was offered to participants. It is not a valid sample because it is only a short study.

Respuesta :

Answer: Choice B

It is not a valid sample because it is not a random sample of the population.

Explanation:

The researcher should have randomly selected the participants, either by picking names out of a hat, using a random number table, or some kind of computer software to pick the names. Letting the first 8 people form the sample is very likely not representative of the population at large. We have a lot of bias here. Therefore, this is not a valid sample.
