Adverts and how they work on you, sentence 8

A survey asks people questions; "9 out of 10" might mean only 10 people were asked, so small or chosen groups can mislead.

Who acts: survey, 9, small groups · What happens: ask, mean, choose, mislead · To what, where: people questions, 10 people · Speech: someone speaks here
