Which source of bias is most relevant to the following situation: A survey asks the following: Should gas powered cars be taxed at a higher rate because they produce ridiculous amounts deadly fumes?



Answer :

Answer:

The source of bias most relevant in this situation is called "biased questioning" or "leading questions." The question in the survey is heavily biased towards a specific opinion, using loaded language and exaggerated claims. The phrasing of the question already assumes that gas powered cars produce "ridiculous amounts" of "deadly fumes" and implies that taxing them at a higher rate is a necessary solution. This type of questioning limits the range of possible answers and can skew the results to favor a certain perspective.
