The director's claim about the number of subscribers willing to pay for the channel is not true. This is because, he didn't factor in some of the other conditions that could have affected the results gotten from the survey.

For example, the survey taken could have been gotten fro the youth subscribers who loves sports hence their indication to be willing to pay. It could also mean, that the number of sample surveyed is far smaller than the actual subscribers that would not be willing to pay for an extra channel.

This would cause the company to lose money if they should implement the results of the survey.
