which source of bias is most relevant to the following situation: a researcher wants to determine average household size and asks all students at the local college how many people are in their local family. self - interest study voluntary response bias nonresponse bias or missing data perceived lack of anonymity loaded or leading question question help: message instructor
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
The researcher is sampling only college - students, who are not representative of all households. This is a form of sampling bias. College students are a subset of the population and their household sizes may be different from the general population. This is not related to self - interest, voluntary response, non - response, lack of anonymity, or a loaded question. The main issue is that the sample is not representative.
# Answer:
None of the provided options are correct as the main bias here is sampling bias (but since we have to choose from the given ones, there is a mis - match). If forced to choose, the closest might be non - response bias or missing data as the researcher is not getting data from non - college student households, but this is a stretch.
