Sampling Methods and Bias with Surveys: Crash Course Statistics #10
Today we’re going to talk about good and bad surveys. Surveys are everywhere, from user feedback surveys to telephone polls, and those questionnaires at your doctor s office. Still, with their ease to create and distribute, they re also susceptible to bias and error. So today we’re going to talk about identifying good and bad survey questions, and how groups (or samples) are selected to represent the entire population since it s often just not feasible to ask everyone.
