My survey shows that 100% of people answer unsolicited phone calls.
Before running with missing data, you need to make the case that there's no plausible reason why non-respondents would have different answers from respondents.
- Aeolun 4y ago> My survey shows that 100% of people answer unsolicited phone calls. Did you not count all the people that didn’t respond? This is just a problem with inference, not the sampling. “100% of the _respondents_ answer unsolicited phone calls _at least some of the time_”.
- tlb 4y agoYes, that's the point. People who respond to surveys are different from people who don't. The challenge is: when you ask some question that might be correlated to responsiveness, like "how many hours per week do you work?", you basically end up with zero information about what you care about (how many hours average people work.)
