Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The errors that were identified were associated with the design and administration of the survey, which fall under the category of nonsampling measurement errors. Sampling measurement errors are errors arising from the selection of a sample and may not be relevant in this case as the pilot test was conducted on a small scale. True value errors refer to errors arising from inaccurate measurements or data collection methods, which may also not be applicable in this case. Item response errors refer to errors that occur when respondents do not provide accurate or truthful responses, which again may not be the issue in this case.
