  Technically theres always a bias of the most amusing answer so the “no” would be close to 5% at a minimum.

    Yep, no survey get 0.2% of any kind of response.

    • Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      0.2% of surveys get some kind of 0.2% response, especially if the survey is about statistics.

    It’s also been shown that people often are bad a reporting accurately. So, your results may not be accurate just from that.

  Survey:

  1. I always tell the truth in surveys

  2. I always lie in surveys

    Okay, but how does this help me get past the gate?

      “Would the guy on the right tell me that the gate you’re guarding on the left is the correct way?”

    how would to other respondent fill out this survey?

    source
• JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Which means 0.2% lied

  source

  • Fermion@feddit.nl ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Or some portion of people generally prefer throwing surveys in the trash, but for unknown reasons decided to complete that one.

    source
  • zergtoshi@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    At least 0.2% lied.

    source
  • hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Or they retrieved the survey from the bin, after tossing it into it.

  You won’t get any customer complaints if you make it impossible for customers to contact you in the first place.

  I think it’s safe to assume if they didn’t respond they do not love responding to surveys.

    It’s almost like that’s the joke presented in comic form.

    • Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s almost like my comment was dripping with cynicism.

  • sorghum@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Yeah, that’s the real answer. 500 responses vs how many sent out

    source

    • recapitated@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Maybe. But if there were 10000 sent and 500 responses, that still isn’t enough information. You would need to know how many were even handled and perceived by the intended recipient.

      But maybe you can work around this by canvasing in person rather than fire and forget.

    Also there’s at least a small set of respondents with fat fingers.

• stupidcasey@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  0.2% margin of error.
