Answer

# Answer: This is voluntary response bias. The result overestimates true support for firing the coach. # Brief Explanations: Voluntary - response bias occurs when people self - select to participate in a survey. Those with strong opinions (in this case, likely fans who want the coach fired) are more likely to respond. So the 75% who want the coach fired overestimates the overall support among all fans.
