Answer:
11. The sampling method is biased. This is because the researcher only interviews people coming out of the restaurant instead of people in the restaurant or walking on the street. This would be called convenience sampling.
12. There is bias in the question. The writer prefers chocolate over vanilla by the words used to describe the two flavors.
