Solution

Step 1: Title

You cannot estimate the number of people in a town who think that a park needs to be remodelled by the survey asking every 10th person who enters the park because it’s a biased sample as every person entering into the park would like it to be remodelled and it’s not going to be accurate.

Final Answer: It’s a biased sample.
