A scientist wants to know if adults prefer watching movies in a theater or in their home. He interviews 500 people leaving a local movie theater and finds that 480 of them like watching movies in theaters. The scientist concludes that 96 percent of people like watching movies in theaters more than at home. Why is the scientist's conclusion most likely unreliable?
Not enough people were interviewed.
The investigation was based on preferences.
The investigation was not replicable.
The location of the survey introduced bias
If someone left a movie theater, it is most likely because he likes watching movies there. A better place to interview would be on the streets, as it’s less biased there
