Sampling bias. Remedy is to use Systematic Random Sampling techniques

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a sampling bias because it denies the other party the opportunity to respond to same question to determine their opinions

The possible remedy to this study is to adopt the systematic random sampling approach to make provision for other party to also respond to same question before an inference or conclusion is reached.
