Briefly discuss the strengths and weaknesses of EACH survey design, and how well you think it supports the conclusion f) Mayberry High School has a student population of 500. We surveyed the parents of 6 students-2 randomly chosen from each grade--and 50% of responders said that their children's education was one of their highest priorities. Therefore, about 50% of the parents at Mayberry High School consider their children's education to be one of their highest priorities.

Answer 1

Solution

Weakness of the above survey model:

I think that the sample of survey is :

(a) does not involve the samples from the entire sample size of 500 students in the school i.e., the sample should contain students from every grade in the school.

(b) does not have sufficient number size of sample under consideration i.e., only 2 students are randomly chosen from each grade.

(c) Also the survey should be conducted with a motive such that the priorities can also be numbered as 1,2,3 in an order (i.e., quantified) because highest priorities can be many / different in number for different people.

Strengths - This survey's motive is very simple ; The sample size as well is small.
