Some government leaders propose allowing oil companies to drill in currently protected lands that may be rich in oil reserves. Environmental researchers argue that drilling in such lands would be harmful to the surrounding ecosystem. To measure support for drilling in such lands, an oil company representative uses random-digit telephone dialing to contact adults in the region and measure opinion for increased drilling. One question in the survey asks, "Given that an increase in drilling could result in increased tax revenue and additional jobs to the region, would you support a proposal to allow drilling in lands currently protected from drilling?"
What type of bias could be most likely affecting the survey results?

This is undercoverage bias because some segments of the population will be excluded from the sample.

This is response bias because those selected for the survey may not provide truthful opinions about oil drilling.

This is voluntary response bias because those most passionate about drilling will be more likely to register an
opinion.

This is question wording bias because the information given at the start of the question may lead those surveyed
towards a desired response.

In a sample of 2023 u. s. adults, 373 said franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. two u. s. adults are selected at random from the population of all u. s. adults without replacement. assuming the sample is representative of all u. s. adults, complete parts (a) through (d). (a) find the probability that both adults say franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that both adults say franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) find the probability that neither adult says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that neither adult says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) find the probability that at least one of the two adults says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii. the probability that at least one of the two adults says franklin roosevelt was the best president since world war ii is (round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) which of the events can be considered unusual? explain. select all that apply. the event in part left parenthesis a right parenthesis is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. the event in part (b) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. none of these events are unusual. the event in part (c) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.
