Videoconferencing Equipment

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that the argument

A recent magazine article argued that most companies that do not already own videoconferencing equipment would be wasting their money if they purchased it. However, this is clearly not true. In a recent survey of businesses that have purchased such equipment, most of the respondents stated that the videoconferencing equipment was well worth its cost.

Answer: relies on a sample that it is reasonable to suppose is unrepresentative of the group about which it draws its conclusion.

This is a sampling fallacy. The people surveyed (videoconferencing equipment owners) doesn't represent the opinion of all small companies.
