To estimate the audience rate for several TV stations, 3000 households are asked to allow a device, which records which TV station is watched, to be installed on their TVs. 2500 agreed to participate. Assume it is of interest to estimate the probability of someone switching on the TV and watching the show "Germany's next top model". (a) What is the precision with which the probability can be estimated? (b) What source of bias could potentially influence the estimates?
