It Is Well Known That the Order of the Questions

Question 28

Essay

It is well known that the order of the questions in a survey can affect the responses.
This is thought to occur because issues raised in one question are remembered when
responding to later questions. In 1974 a survey asked the following questions about
doctors and lawyers:
1. Would you say that most doctors in this country are really interested in the
public good, or are most doctors just out to make a lot of money?
2. Would you say that most lawyers in this country are really interested in the
public good, or are most lawyers just out to make a lot of money?
The following table summarizes the responses to the lawyer question when these
questions were asked in different orders.  Responses to lawyer question  Question order  % Public good  % Making money  Lawyer question asked first 2674 Doctor question asked first 3070\begin{array}{l}\text { Responses to lawyer question }\\\begin{array} { | l | c | c | } \hline { \text { Question order } } & \text { \% Public good } & \text { \% Making money } \\\hline \text { Lawyer question asked first } & 26 & 74 \\\text { Doctor question asked first } & 30 & 70 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array} (a) Construct a comparative bar chart for these response percentages.
