Lesson 3.5 Sampling and Surveys
Objectives Explain how undercoverage can lead to bias. Explain how nonresponse can lead to bias. Explain how other aspects of a sample survey can lead to bias.
Definitions Undercoverage: some people can’t be chosen or are less likely to be chosen (ex. Landlines) Nonresponse: people can’t be reached or refuse (ex. No answer, hang up) Response bias: Interviewer influences answer, wording of questions, people lie These all lead to bias!
*Voluntary response bias is when an invitation to be part of a survey is given and people decided whether or not to participate. They were NOT specifically chosen by the researchers. *Nonresponse is when people ARE chosen by the researchers for the survey but the people do not complete the survey.
