Identify the sampling method used, and explain why this sample could be biased.

Answer:

The sampling method used is convenience sampling. The sample could be biased because it only includes listeners of that specific radio station at a particular time. Additionally, results might be skewed because people who choose to call into a radio station often have strong opinions about the topic being discussed.
