Cell Phone Cancer Danger
please help on this statistics word problem?
Comment on each of the following as a potential sample survey question. Is the question clear? is it slanted toward a desired response?
a) “Some cell phone users have developed brain cancer. Should all cell phones come with a warning label explaining the danger of using cell phones?”
b) “Do you agree that a national system of health insurance should be favored because it would provide health insurance for everyone and would reduce administrative costs?”
c) “In view of the negative externalities in parent labor force participation and pediatric evidence associating increased group size with morbidity of children in day care, do you support government subsides for day care programs?”
I am kind of confused here so please help for points?
A ) The first question points out that there is a potentiality for cell-phone users to develop a very nasty, incurable disease. Only then does it ask if you are in favour of a warning label. Who is going to say no after such an introductory statement ? Of course this is a biassed question.
B ) The wording of this question is essentially asking “are you in favour of universal and cheaper health insurance ?” Who but an idiot would vote against this?
C) This is saying in authoritative and medical language that day-care for children in large groups is bad for their health. Then it says are you in favour of day-care in large groups? So it is pushing people toward an answer of No.
All these questions are biassed. The straightforward question, without any pushing should be something like
A) Should cell-phones come with a warning label……
B ) Do you agree with the provision of national health insurance …….
C ) Do you support government subsidies for day care programs …
Then people might say what their unbiassed opinion is.
