Answer
# Answer:
1. Voluntary - response
2. Less
3. Over - estimated
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify sampling method
The news show invites people to visit a website and vote. This is a voluntary - response sample as people choose whether or not to participate.
## Step2: Analyze elderly's tech usage
Elderly residents are generally less likely to use technology to vote compared to younger demographics.
## Step3: Determine bias effect
Since the elderly (who may be more affected by the legislation) are less likely to vote, the sample will be skewed towards those who are more tech - savvy and more likely to support decreased benefits. So the proportion of people who support decreased benefits will be over - estimated for all residents of the community.
