The document discusses the impact of low survey response rates and non-response bias on survey results, particularly in the context of voluntary surveys. It aims to identify factors influencing non-response bias and illustrate its effects using simulated data and a case study from the Year 2000 (Y2K) survey. The findings indicate that higher response rates significantly reduce non-response bias, while factors such as population standard deviation and distribution also play crucial roles. Recommendations include focusing on improving response rates through effective survey practices to enhance data quality.

What does low response rate mean?

The lower the response rate in a survey the more likely it is to have sampling bias; this is when some members of your population are systematically more likely to be in your sample than others.

What are response rates?

Put simply, a response rate refers to the number of people who completed your survey divided by the number of people who make up the total sample group.

Is a 20% response rate good?

Exactly what constitutes a good response rate can vary. But generally speaking, an acceptable survey response rate is between 5% and 30%. Anything above 30% is considered excellent.

Is a 50% response rate good?

Experts say that a response rate of 50% or more is excellent, but it can be difficult to docHub when surveys are sent to many people. Therefore, it is reasonable for companies to aim for at least 30%.
