Scientists measured the incidence of a lung disease in a sample of 500 people who all worked in the same factory. They used this value as the incidence for the whole country. Why might this conclusion be invalid?
The sample of 500 people was too small for any conclusion at all to be drawn
The sample contained only people who already had symptoms of a lung disease
The sample was chosen at random, so other scientists cannot repeat the study
The sample is not representative, because the workers shared the same conditions
