A poll of public opinion dials $2000$ random private phone numbers and asks to speak with a grown-up member of the family unit. "How many films have you seen in a cinema in the preceding year?" the questioner inquires. Every single one of the $1131$ people reacts. The answer bias is a likely scenario because if people watch movies frequently, they would forget the number of times they have watched movies and will say the first number that comes to mind. As a result, reaction bias is a possibility. By lowering the time duration from $12$ to $3$ months, the response bias might be eliminated.
