Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Is it important to follow up on those persons in a survey who did not return questionnaires mailed to them? Yes, because the sample that has already returned the questionnaire may be biased.

Detailed explanation-2: -A yes-or-no question is binary, which means there are only two possible answers-yes or no. Since these types of questions are easy to answer, they don’t add significantly to the total time it takes to complete a survey. Unambiguous.

Detailed explanation-3: -All Answers (15) You should remove the answer completely since no statistical program will be able to measure this, unless you can divide it into two seperate questions, which shouldn’t be done. Be sure to inform your participants there should be only one response per question in the beginning of the survey. Good luck!
