Answer to Question 1

Many people may refuse to talk to a telephone interviewer. If the people who don't answer the phone differ from people who do in whether they plan to watch the next Super Bowl, non-response bias may result. Also, women are more likely to answer the phone and they may be less likely to watch the Super Bowl.

Answer to Question 2

The people who did not vote may be reluctant to admit that they didn't vote, resulting in a response bias.

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.
