Which statement describes a cause of skewed data?

Answer
A
a random collection of data from the population being measured
B
a sample with not enough observations from the population being measured
C
a sample that excludes subjects that are not part of the population being measured
D
an inclusive sample that includes all subsets of a population being measured
