Looking for examples of response rate issues for my methods class, I
came across this classic:


Methodology

A standard survey questionnaire was used. It was issued by email to 313
fan club presidents, webmasters and other identities in the Elvis world.
Of the 313 surveys distributed, 38 came back marked ‘return to sender’.
Six (6) of these were able to be resent meaning a potential response of
281.
