Answer 1

Answer:

The factor that would be least important to know while interpreting the result of the survey would be the percentage of the people responding who were interviewed on Wednesday instead of Tuesday.

Explanation:

• For a study that is concerned with issues or operations that have been going on for a long time, the day or time at which the study was conducted does not make a great difference, especially when the margin of the period between the days the study was conducted is very small.
• When an interview about an issue that is of periodic significance is to be conducted, the period or the time of the interview does matter a lot.
