A study in El Paso, Texas, looked at seat belt use by drivers. Drivers were observed at randomly chosen convenience stores. Afte
r they left their cars, they were invited to answer questions that included questions about seat belt use. In all, 75% said they always used seat belts, yet only 61.5% were wearing seat belts when they pulled into the store parking lots. Explain the reason for the bias observed in responses to the survey. Do you expect bias in the same direction in most surveys about seat belt use?
The answers will always be bias. This is due to the fact that for someone to say no, would be self incrimination. Though there will be exceptions for those who do not care, or who are just honest, the 25%.
So what we do first is find out the cost per foot which is 305÷154=1.9805194805194805195 Then we find out the area of the second rug which is 288 feet and multiply that by the cost 1.9805194805194805195. We then get 1.9805194805194805195x288=570.38961038961038961
