Statistics Hypothetical Restrictions Worksheet

This is the second component of your course project.Assignment Overview and PreparationIn this assignment, you will define your data collection strategy, which includes developing six survey questions. To allow you to focus your time and effort on the actual survey tool and analysis, this course uses a software program to provide the data. Using technology to generate survey data causes hypothetical restrictions in your survey design. As a result, the number and type of questions you write for your survey must follow the Data Collection Template [DOC] Download Data Collection Template [DOC]provided for this assignment.Make sure you have watched the Week 3 Project Video. Your instructor walks you through the div for this assignmentI AM ATTACHING WEEK ! partWeek 3 Project VideoGuidelines for the QuestionsCompose all six survey questions in question form. Write like you are directly asking the survey participant. For example, ask, “How many cats do you own?” rather than stating, “The number of cats owned.”Write binary questions for 1–4. Binary questions have only two possible responses. Examples of this are yes/no, true/false, and male/female (to name a few).Write quantitative questions for 5–6. These questions have to elicit a single numeric response. Survey participants can respond with only one number.Avoid asking the following types of questions, as there are certain types of questions that are not within the parameters of the project:Questions where survey participants have to explain something. This includes short answer and fill-in-the-blank questions.Questions that use a Likert scale. That is where a participant would choose from responses such as strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly disagree.Questions where a participant chooses a number on a scale, such as 1 to 10 or 1 to 5.Questions contingent on another question. Each question must have a stand-alone response.Questions already answered based on how you defined your population. For example, if your population includes only males, do not ask “Are you male or female?”Guidelines for the Minimum and the Maximum of the QuestionsThe minimum value is the lowest number with which you think a participant can or will respond. The maximum value is the highest number with which you think a participant can or will respond. To determine these values, make an educated estimate based on your population and the research you have conducted on the issue. For example, if we are surveying Capella students, we might ask “What is your age?” In this situation, a minimum age might be 16, and a maximum age might be 85. Note that it is possible to be outside these ranges. The minimum and the maximum are approximations, or likely ranges, of what you expect.Your binary questions will not have a minimum or a maximum.You will need to set a minimum and a maximum for each of the quantitative questions.The minimum and the maximum are each one single number.Guidelines for the Expected Values for Typical Responses to the QuestionsThe typical responses will help the program that generates your hypothetical data produce more realistic participant responses based on your knowledge of the issue you are studying. The typical response will fall between the minimum and the maximum. This is the value you think would be the most common response from survey participants. Base the typical response on your knowledge of what you are surveying and the research you have conducted on the issue.The typical response is one single number.Your sampling strategy and how you would attempt to conduct your survey. Be sure to include some rationale for your strategy and any potential issues that might affect your survey results.
