Non-response bias is a type of bias that occurs when people are unwilling or unable to respond to a survey. Participants who did not respond may differ from people who respond. It can also be the case that the survey may not even reached the target respondent, for example email might have dropped in the spam folder. This can result in wrong estimation of the population characteristics based on the underrepresentation of these phenomena due to non-response.
In the given scenario, Daphne mails a survey to 50,000 recent college graduates across America, but only 6% of the surveys were returned.
