The subject were selected from a reputable market research firm, which means the subjects were chosen from a larger sample which is reliable and not just a voluntary pool of subjects. Also, the selection process is randomized. Based on these, there are no flaws which are likely to cause the introduction of bias into the sample selected. Hence, the data is sound and not in any way biased.
