WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST A hospital did a 10 year study on patients who use his services. 1000 patients were randomly selected and followed over a period of 10 years to determine the average number of visits per year. By the end of the 10 year. Some of the patients had left the area. Identify the problem with the poll.
A) A nonresponse occurred
B) The relationship between two variables implies one causes the other
C) Some of the sample data are missing
D) The conclusion is based on a voluntary response sample

b so  it doesnt tell you how many people come to the hospital a day

Step-by-step explanation:

a--->b--->=c

A) A nonresponse occurred

Step-by-step explanation:

We understand that in the span of 10 years, 1000 patients were monitored, and among those were some individuals who had moved. These certain individuals are not responsive anymore, and can not be a source of data, and the poll would be incorrect if the hospital decided to switch out the patients in the midst of the decade. Therefore we are to assume a nonresponse occurred. (To define nonresponse, it is simply a failure to respond, which is indeed what is defined for those who had moved.)

It is not B for the two variables have no correlation, it is not C for all patients were at first patrons and the problem did not explicitly state there was missing info, and D is incorrect for it said the sample group was selected at random. Therefore, with process of elimination, A would still be correct.
