Use the guidelines to evaluate the study. Discuss flaws that you see in the study. The host of a conservative talk show asked his listeners to respond to the following question: "Do you think that environmental laws which restrict growth should be weakened?" Twenty people responded, and the next day the talk show host announced that the results of his survey suggested that 76% of Americans feel that environmental laws should be weakened.
What will be an ideal response?
The flaws are as follows:
1. The wording of the question is not neutral because of the phrase "which restrict growth."
2. There is participation bias as the sample is self-selected, those with particularly strong views are more likely to respond.
3. There is selection bias as the listeners of a particular conservative talk show are not representative of Americans as a whole.
4. The sample is too small.
