It helps to collect data about people\u2019s opinions, behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Example: Information about people&#8217;s buying habits helps to understand the demand of different products and improve the sales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-how-are-surveys-useful\">How Are Surveys Useful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The information collected through a survey is studied carefully to draw conclusions and make predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For instance, let\u2019s say a restaurant wants to collect feedback from its customers for its new dish. The best way to do this is by conducting a survey and asking the customers a few relevant questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">This way, the restaurant will get to know how customers feel about the dish and make improvements accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-some-common-examples-of-survey\">Some Common Examples of Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">TV ratings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Sports preferences of students in a school<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Political preferences of people in a state<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Leisure preferences of people in a society<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-different-types-of-survey-methods\">Different Types of Survey Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-2.png\" alt=\"Illustration of hands holding a board and ticking boxes\" class=\"wp-image-12593\" title=\"Illustration of hands holding a board and ticking boxes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-2.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-2-300x257.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The survey method refers to the process used to gather data. Different methods help provide different kinds of information or insights you seek. Some common methods are listed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-online-survey\">Online Survey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">It consists of questions that can be accessed via the internet. This method is cost-effective, easy to design, and can easily and quickly collect information from a large population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-paper-survey\">Paper Survey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">It is the traditional method of surveying where pen and paper are used. It can be used for a population that is not tech savvy. However, this method can be more expensive and time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-telephonic-survey\">Telephonic Survey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">As the name suggests, telephonic surveys are conducted over the telephone. Respondents are contacted through a telephone call and asked questions. This method can be time-consuming and ineffective if respondents unwillingly invest enough time on call.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-face-to-face-interview\">Face-to-Face Interview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In this type, interviewers meet the respondents in person to ask questions. The respondents answer the questions in their own words and elaborate. The method may work well with a low-literacy population and when a detailed insight into the subject is needed. However, this method is time-consuming and quite expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-designing-survey-questions\">Designing Survey Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-3.png\" alt=\"Illustration of a man holding up a sheet with a questionnaire\" class=\"wp-image-12595\" title=\"Illustration of a man holding up a sheet with a questionnaire\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-3.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-3-300x175.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">A questionnaire is a set of questions or other types of prompts that aims to collect information from a respondent. The data collected from a questionnaire can be both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/qualitative-market-research\/\">qualitative<\/a> as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/quantitative-market-research\/\">quantitative<\/a> in nature. How we design the questionnaire decides the quality and reliability of our survey results. This is because a good questionnaire gets us required and efficient data in less time, whereas the wrong choice of questions may lead to the failure of the survey. So, we must design our questionnaire depending on the type of information we need. Some of the common question types are given below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-open-ended-questions\">Open-Ended Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Open-ended questions are subjective questions that require respondents to elaborate their answers. They are asked such questions to gain a deeper understanding of the respondents\u2019 feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example: What is your opinion on gender equality in your country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-multiple-choice-questions\">Multiple-choice Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Multiple-choice questions require you to select single\/multiple answers from the list of options provided. These are objective questions, which are preferred when we just want to know about the choice of the respondents and not their reasons and feelings behind it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example: Which is your favorite ice cream flavor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Strawberry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Vanilla&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Chocolate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Blueberry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Butter Pecan<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-ordinal-scale-questions\">Ordinal Scale Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">These questions require respondents to rank each option based on their preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, rank the following subjects from 1 to 5 in order of your preference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">(1 being your most preferred subject and 5 being the least preferred).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table eplus-wrapper\"><table class=\"wj-table-class\"><tbody><tr><td>\u3007 Mathematics<\/td><td>\u3007 Science<\/td><td>\u3007 History<\/td><td>\u3007 English<\/td><td>\u3007 Economics<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-interval-scale-question\">Interval Scale Question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In this type of question, respondents are provided with a range of numbers or feelings to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Example: Define your experience with online shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Excellent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Good<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Satisfactory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Poor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Very poor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-ratio-scale-question\">Ratio Scale Question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">These questions require respondents to answer on a measurable scale range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, how many hours a day do you spend on social media?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">0\u20131 hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">1\u20132 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">2\u20133 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">More than 3 hours<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-steps-to-conduct-a-survey\">Steps to Conduct a Survey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-4.png\" alt=\"Illustration of a woman conducting a survey \" class=\"wp-image-12596\" title=\"Illustration of a woman conducting a survey \" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-4.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Survey-in-Math-4-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The following six steps are involved in conducting a survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> <strong>Choose who will participate in the survey.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Before you start conducting a survey, you should be clear on your purpose and have a clear subject that defines what you want to find out. Based on this, you will decide on a further plan of action like who needs to survey, what information we need to collect, and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>For example<\/strong>, suppose you are the head of the housing society association in your neighborhood and are planning to build a leisure club there. For this, you want to know about the activity preferences of all the members of your society and hence plan to conduct the survey. So, here, the society members will form the subject\/sample of your survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 2: Decide the survey method.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The next step is to decide which method we are going to use to collect the information. Depending on the size of the population, type of information to be collected, budget, etc., we decide the survey method.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>For example<\/strong>, in step 1, the method can be decided based on the size of the neighborhood; if it is small, volunteers can help collect data, the paper method or telephonic method could be used. The online method should be preferred if the members are active on social media groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 3: Design the questionnaire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">The next step would be to design the questionnaire. Depending on the purpose of the survey, you must design your questionnaire to get the relevant information in the most efficient way.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For the example that we are discussing, to build the activity club, the association\u2019s head would want to know the most preferred leisure activity of the members, the preferred time that they would want the club to be active, etc. These are objective questions, and a combination of two to three types of questions would be suitable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Which is your favorite leisure activity?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 Badminton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 Cricket<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 Football<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 Basketball<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 Soccer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">What is your preferred time of leisure?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">\u3007 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 4: Distribute the questionnaire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In this step, you send the questionnaire to the sample population to collect the data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 5: Organize the data&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">You may organize data in the graphical\/tabular form to help you understand the preferences\/trends better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">For example, you may compile the information in the spreadsheet and draw a pie chart for the activity preference and another graph for time slot preference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Step 6: Draw Conclusions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Study the graphs\/tables you created in the last step to conclude. For example, if, according to the graph, more people prefer soccer, then you might want to build a soccer club. Similarly, you may study the time slot graph to decide when your club will be open.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"16-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1. Suppose you\u2019re planning to start a luxurious makeup brand and want to conduct a survey on the topic. Who will be the most suitable group of people to conduct the survey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Solution: <\/strong>The survey should be conducted among people who wear makeup.
