Master Student Stats Help

thebroker · Jan 18, 2013

LAST EDITED ON Jan-18-13 AT 12:42PM (MST)[p]I have a Stats assignment due Thursday that requires a survey. I have decided on a specific population of opinionated Pro gun folks. I figured this would be a great place. The survey is also being sent to military personnel. Please if you have a second complete it and send to my inbox. All PMs will be immediately deleted once I compile the results.
Thanks in advance.

This is a random survey designed to measure the opinions of a specific target population. The population is those of Pro Gun. These are the presidents recommendations as of January 15, 2013. Please assign a number to each question with 1 being the lowest(strongly disagree) and 10 being the highest(strongly agree).
Require background checks for all gun sales
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Strengthen the background checks for all gun sales
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

I'm a little slow so please spell it out for me.

I know "1" is the lowest and "10" is the highest but what do they represent? Is the number "1" to mean that I disagree with doing it..... or disagree that it will work and "10" is I agree totally with the Pres O?????

Also, I see the President proposal as a statement... not a question... correct? I don't think he is asking, he's telling.

Ya I agree, no question he is telling seem to be a habit with him anymore... yes, 1 is strongly disagree 10 is strongly agree

Thanks for the help

The survey will be invalid unless you reword your directions. I would also rethink the wording on some of your questions. This is just a suggestion but as it is now it will not be of much use. I doubt it would pass a 10th grade stat class the way it is worded as it is.

Do you know how or have you thought of using Survey Monkey for this assignment? Its easy to use, any decent professor should have pointed you in that direction IMO.

Ya I couldn't figure survey monkey out.

If I understand the survey correctly, it is easy to answer. I would give every statement a 1. Not a useful suggestion or statement in the bunch.

+1 to Bill

OK, Now I'm done. I just needed to know if #1 was like or dislike. Thanks

Good Luck it looks like you're taking the assignment seriously. Survey Monkey is easy once you get into it, have your instructor show you how you may need it for Stat. assignments in the future and it will lessen the work load.

Thanks I appreciate it

How can you guarantee that everyone who answers is "Pro-Gun"..? You can't. you have to have that as the first question.

As it stands, the only one that I feel will help is Additional Resource Officers. That one is a 10, all others a 1...

Awesome thanks,, and your correct, I cant be sure, that's why there will be different measurements included in the final. Standard deviations applied and so on.
