Explain how the nonresponse bias can limit the representativeness of a sample?
What will be an ideal response?
Nonresponse bias limits the representativeness of a sample in that individuals in a population who respond to surveys may be systematically different from those who do not. Hence, nonresponse bias could limit a sample to be representative of only the portion of the population that is willing to respond to a survey or request to participate in a study.
