Answer to Question 1

F
No questioning or communication with people is needed in observation.

Answer to Question 2

The response rate is the number of questionnaires returned or completed divided by the number of eligible people who were asked to participate in the survey. Typically, the number in the denominator is adjusted for faulty addresses and similar problems that reduce the number of eligible participants.

Below are ways to increase response rates for mail surveys:
(1) Include a cover letter.
(2) Offer monetary incentive or premiums.
(3) Include interesting questions.
(4) Conduct follow-ups, which may include a duplicate questionnaire or merely be a reminder to return the survey; use codes to key questionnaires.
(5) Notify respondents in advance.
(6) Keep survey sponsor anonymous.
(7) Other techniques include types of envelopes, stamps, and color of questionnaire paper.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
