Step-by-step : explanation:

In any survey, sample represents a population of people of interest while the question represents the information of concern to be gathered from the sample. In this case, the sample being surveyed was contained within the city of interest. This population was not only selected at random, but included residents of all ages. This would not indicate any predisposition or preference to certain genders, ages or areas and therefore no bias seems likely. In addition, the question being asked does not indicate a preference or subconscience effort to sway the sample one way or another, also not indicating bias. For example, had the question been worded "Should the town implement a nighttime curfem on weekdays to avoid crime?" This may indicate that residents should vote 'yes' in order to keep crime at bay.
