Bonus Knowledge

The prediction likely fell short because the newspaper relied on a biased sample. Since piano owners and business owners don’t represent the general voting population in a diverse community, their opinions may not accurately reflect the views of all voters. This can lead to skewed predictions, especially if their preferences differ significantly from those of non-business owners or individuals without pianos!
Additionally, if the questions in the questionnaires were poorly designed or not aligned with the factors that influence voting behavior, the newspaper could have ended up with faulty data interpretation. Perhaps the questions misunderstood what voters prioritize or resonate with, misguiding the analysis and leading to erroneous predictions!
