A study of an association between which ear is used for cell phone calls and whether the subject is left-handed or right-handed began with a survey e-mailed to 5000 people belonging to an otology online group, and 717 surveys were returned. (Otology relates to the ear and hearing.) What percentage of the 5000 surveys were returned? Does that response rate appear to be low? In general, what is a problem with a very low response rate? Of the 5000 surveys, nothing% were returned. This response rate ▼ appears does not appear to be low.

Of the 5000 surveys, 14% were returned. This response rate APPEARS to be low.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total sample collected = 5000

Survey returned = 700

i) What percentage of the 5000 surveys were returned?

To find percentage returned, we have:

Percentage returned = 14%

ii) Does that response rate appear to be low?

Yes, the response is significantly low as only 14% is returned out of expected 100%

iii) In general, what is a problem with a very low response rate?

The problem with in low response rate in general is that it causes the result to be biased as biased samples of those interested in a particular aspect may have been gotten.

Therefore, of the 5000 surveys, 14% were returned. This response rate APPEARS to be low.
