Expert Solution
Step 1

According to the given scenario, Frances is interested in whether students at his college would like to see a portion of the campus preserved as green space. Using student identification numbers, he randomly contacts 300 students and receives a response from 75. Of those who responded, 64% favored the preservation of green space on campus. 

Non-response bias occurs when the respondents are unwilling or unable to respond due to several factors.

Gender bias occurs when only one gender is given the greater scopes or opportunities to do a work.

Voluntary response bias occurs when sample members are the self-selected volunteers.

Measurement bias occurs when there are measurement errors done while sampling or doing any mathematical calculation for the sample estimates.
