Answer:

Thus, conducting the survey so that the sample is biased toward overturning the ban is to increase the number of people not favoring the skateboarding ban in comparison to people who are favoring the ban.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A survey regarding the decision on banning skateboarding

To find:

how the poll may be conducted in such a way that the sample is skewed in favor of reversing the prohibition

Step-by-step explanation:

A reasonable sample is
● selected at random,
● representative of the population, and
● large enough to provide accurate data.

While taking the sample, the number of people who are not favoring the ban on skateboarding should be increased in comparison to the number of people who are in favor of the ban. Doing so will result in a biased sample indicating that majoring of people do not want to ban skateboarding as the sample is projecting a majority who are against the ban instead of favor the ban.
