Question
in a survey, subjects are asked to record how many alcoholic drinks they consume each day. which type of bias could result? nonresponse bias response bias sampling bias no bias
Response bias occurs when survey respondents provide inaccurate or misleading answers due to social desirability, memory issues, or sensitivity of the topic. Asking about alcoholic drink consumption (a potentially stigmatized or underreported behavior) leads respondents to likely understate their actual intake, which fits the definition of response bias. Nonresponse bias relates to people not participating, sampling bias to flawed selection of participants, and there is clear potential for bias here.
