The U WUESLIUII JJ study received funding from Mars, Inc., the candy company, and the Chocolate Manufacturers Association. O Question 34 Choose the correct answer below. O A. Since the sample is self-selected, there is a definite participation bias in this study. The researchers should randomly select the subjects of the study. O Question 35 O B. The data do not seem to support the claims being made by the article. The article's author should consult an expert to make sure that he or she is correctly interpreting the study's results. O C. The questions used in the study might have caused the respondents to give inaccurate or dishonest responses. The question wording should be changed to be more neutral. Question 36 O D. The researchers may have been more inclined to provide favorable results because funding was provided by a party with a definite interest. The bias could have been avoided if the researchers were not paid by the candy company and the chocolate manufacturers.
