Public Policy Polling recently conducted a survey asking adults across the U.S. about music preferences. When asked, 80 of the 571 participants admitted that they have illegally downloaded music. This survey was conducted through automated telephone interviews. The error bound of the survey compensates for sampling error, or natural variability among samples. List some factors that could affect the survey's outcome that are not covered by the margin of error.

- A survey conducted by a song rating service finds that the percentages of listeners familiar with "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga who would give the song ratings of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 are, respectively, 43 percent, 21 percent, 22 percent, 7 percent, and 7 percent. Assign the numerical values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to the (qualitative) ratings 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and find an estimate of the probability distribution of x = this song’s rating by a randomly selected listener who is familiar with the song.

- The drug manufacturer claim that taking gemfibrozil is beneficial to reduce the chance of heart attacks. 2051 men took the medication, and a control group of 2030 men took a placebo. During the next five years, 56 men in the drug group and 84 men in the placebo group had heart attacks.
