The response rate is calculated by dividing the number of completed interviews by the total number of eligible contacts, and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. In this case, the number of completed interviews is 730 (534+196), and the total number of eligible contacts is 1000, so the response rate is (730/1000) x 100 = 73%.
