Problem
A national sporting organisation has over 300 000 members. Every member is invited to complete an online survey regarding the management structure of the organisation. Only 16% of the members responded.
(1) Do you think the non-response error in this situation is likely to produce a biased sample? Explain your answer.
(2) Does such a high non-response error necessarily invalidate findings from the survey? Discuss your answer.
