Answer 1

The situation described exhibits selection bias. This occurs because the organization is only calling every fourth household, which may not represent the overall community's interest in the party. This sampling method could lead to an unbalanced view of the neighbors' preferences, as some households may be more or less likely to be called based on their position in the calling order.
