Considerations When Sampling

Question 7 • Math Models A

A school guidance counselor is researching the number of high school students who have a part-time job. She emails a survey to 500 students that contains the question "Given that studies show that holding a part-time job helps with college admissions, do you have a part-time job or want a part-time job?” Select the type of bias most likely to affect the results of the survey.

Answer
A
Response bias
B
Nonresponse bias
C
Question wording bias
D
Undercoverage bias

Explanation

The question says that studies show a part-time job helps with college admissions, which may influence students to answer in a particular way. This makes question wording bias most likely, because the wording is leading rather than neutral. The correct choice is question wording bias.
