Answer 1

A radio station made a survey of their listeners to determine whether the audience would like to listen to more rap music. They asked the question “Do you want us to play more rap music or less rap music?” The station recorded one hundred fifty listeners who call in.

The focus of the study is about the playing of the rap music because it is what the question is about. Not the type of music listeners want to hear, nor the number of listeners who respond nor the response of listeners.

Answer 2

the response of listeners to give opinion on to play more or less rap music
