Answer:
B). Response bias
D). The interviewer should reword the question.
Explanation:
Response bias is described as the type of bias in which a variety of tendencies are displayed by the respondents to answer the questions asked in the survey inaccurately or misleadingly. These false responses eventually lead to a false or deceiving conclusion. In the given survey, 'response bias' is displayed as the respondents may display a tendency to answer the question falsely as the feeling of 'patriotism' evoked by the word 'patriotic' may prevent their original opinions to come out. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer to describe the bias in this survey.
In order to prevent this bias, the interviewer must 'reword the question' and remove the word 'patriotic' as it develops the feeling of patriotism in the respondents which mars them from answering accurately and share their true opinions or thoughts in the regards of 'supporting armed forces.' This rewording will help evoke the true and authentic responses without any bias. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer to remedy the bias.
Answer:
$299,280
Explanation:
If the Tolstoys purchased the house they would pay on average $120 per sq ft x 2,900 sq ft = $348,000
If Mr. installs the plumbing and Mrs. Tolstoy decorates the house, they can save 10% (plumbing and installing plumbing fixtures) and 4% (interior decorating) = 14% of the cost
So the Tolstoys can save = $348,000 x 14% = $48,720
the cost of the house = $348,000 - $48,720 = $299,280
