Answer 1

In this situation, the neighborhood organization calls every fourth household. This is an example of selection bias. Selection bias occurs when the method of selecting participants for a survey or study results in a sample that is not representative of the population. By only calling every fourth household, there is a potential that those who are chosen may have different characteristics or interests compared to those who are not selected, leading to skewed results regarding interest in the party.
