Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The survey results are only representative of students in Professor Kramer's Psychology and Law and Introduction to Neuroscience classes, not all students who are political science majors. The other answer choices are also not representative of the sample since they either include all students at the university or all students he has ever taught, which is outside the scope of the sample.
