Description

Non-response bias occurs when the responses collected in a survey or study are not representative of the entire population due to certain groups being more likely to respond than others. It can skew the results and lead to inaccurate conclusions.

The silent majority skews the story 📉🔇 When those who don't respond change the outcome more than those who do.
