Some government leaders propose allowing oil companies to drill in currently protected lands that may be rich in oil reserves. E

nvironmental researchers argue that drilling in such lands would be harmful to the surrounding ecosystem. To measure support for drilling in such lands, an oil company representative uses random-digit telephone dialing to contact adults in the region and measure opinion for increased drilling. One question in the survey asks, "Given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region, would you support a proposal to allow drilling in lands currently protected from drilling?" What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results? This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling. This is voluntary res

The type of bias in this survey is question-wording bias because the question is influencing the response (option D).

Question-wording bias occurs when the words selected in the question influence a specific response. Here is one example:

  • Do you believe a cruel practice such as bullfighting should be forbidden?

In this question, the use of the word cruel qualifies bullfighting as negative, and therefore in most cases, people will answer that bullfighting should be forbidden.

This effect occurs in the question for this survey because the section given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region indirectly states drilling is positive and therefore influences the response of those surveyed.

Note: This question is incomplete because some of the options are missing; here are the complete options:

What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results?

A. This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample.

B. This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling.

C. This is voluntary response bias because those most passionate about drilling will be more likely to register an opinion.

D. This is question-wording bias because the information given at the start of the question may lead those surveyed towards a desired response.

2 cars c and d started to move to each other car c was 118 miles from Boston car d was 256 miles from Boston car c was going twi
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

131.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.

Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:

d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles       (1)

Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence

For car c:

2x = d₁/t

t = d₁ / 2x

For car d;

x = d₂/t

t = d₂/ x

Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:

d₁/2x = d₂ / x

d₁ = 2d₂

d₁ - 2d₂ = 0         (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles

Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles

Julie’s mom paid $2.70 for 5 pounds of bananas at Supermart. Mario’s mom paid $2.60 for 4 pounds of Bananas at Market One. Write
serg [7]

Answer: (Supermart) Equation 1 = $2.70÷5 lb = $0.54 per lb

(Market One) Equation 2 = $2.60÷4 lb = $0.65 per lb

Since the unit price of bananas per lb in Supermart is less than the unit price of bananas per lb in Market One, Supermart has the better price.
