The study only polled 24 participants to make a conclusion about all residents of Mississippi. A sample of 24 is too small to accurately represent the entire population of a state. There's no indication of a voluntary - response sample, no causal relationship being implied, and no mention of non - response.

The conclusion is based on a small sample.
