Question

challenge activity 1.4.1: bias from poor sampling. 720468 5810272 cx5uy7 jump to level 1 for the given situation, determine the most likely type of bias. a survey is used to find information about peoples feelings on tax reform. the survey includes the question: do you want to pay higher taxes? yes/no pick acquiescence bias undercoverage voluntary response bias check next

Explanation:

The survey question is framed in a leading, one-sided way that pushes respondents toward a negative answer, which is a form of response bias. Acquiescence bias refers to a tendency to agree with questions, but here the issue is the loaded framing that skews responses about tax reform by only asking about wanting higher taxes, not the full context of reform. Undercoverage is about missing groups in sampling, and voluntary response bias is about self-selected respondents, neither of which apply here.

Answer:

Acquiescence bias
