Explanation / Answer

a) A retail store manager selects the first 60 customers who enter his store on a Saturday morning. So, this is sampling bias because only on the basis of the first 60 customers we can draw our conclusion.  

b) A possible remedy is to use systematic random sampling which is better in this case because in this sampling method we take the first unit randomly & remaining unit is selected by a pre-defined pattern.
