I'm doing a survey about college students and graduates stories of successes and failures on their road paths towards completing college. Who influence your choice going to college rather just jumping into the workforce?
This is for current college students and graduates. what does college success means?
Opening yourself to more career opportunities brings college into view. While it is possible to be successful in the world without a college education. College prepares you in all walks of life, not just academic, but emotional, personal (from time management to organization), and to aim for future goals. College gives you that training and knowledge to prepare you for a specific field. So success can mean different things. Success in college would mean, graduating in you desired major, finding a great job and having great benefits in your desired area, and most of all, staying happy and enjoying your rewards. But again, school is not for everyone, so it depends on your drive. Now let's get something straight, college DOES NOT guarantee success, it helps it, but it doesn't promise anything. Prime example, me, I have a college degree in psychology, went to college because it was the right thing to do, but, was not very happy with my degree decision and now back in school for nursing, because I want to work in the healthfield. Different factors can prohibit you from being successful and/or bring you into success. College is an option but it's not the big road towards success it only provides some insight and training. Good luck on your survey.
Reply:my dad. He is pretty successful right now. Getting what he wants and going to different places around the world. And believe it or not, he still gets to spend time with us. And he is in this business industry for more than 10 years now. And he is still doing it.
Doing my thesis was the hardest part. It like testing you on all the things you have learned and seeing if you can now apply it in reality. And I have to do it in a short period of time.
But I think, it is all worth it. It will prepare myself as I enter the workforce.

Can you help me find some SOURCES OF BIAS on my survey?
-Our high school has a maximum of 800 students in total
-I surveyed 200 people in my high school
-This came up to: 40 random students from each grade (grade: 7, 8, 9, 10 11) (40 x 5=200)
-I randomly asked students in our school cafeteria to do my surveys
THIS WAS MY SURVEY:
Which of the following COLD beverages do you drink the most?
a) Water
b) Juice
c) Soda
d) Milk
e) Energy Drink
f) Other
Which of the following HOT beverages do you drink the most?
a) Coffee
b) Tea
c) Hot Chocolate
d) Other
WERE THERE ANY SOURCES OF BIASES INVOLVED IN MY SURVEY? Please give me AS MANY as you can find, or think of-- taking in mind the place and stuff we did our survey in!
(10 points for most helpful answer!)

If the term bias applies to this your survey results may show a bias towards what the consumers can afford. Many students may drink water because they don't have money for juice. I do not think you clarified if the drinks were free or paid for
Reply:I think everyone enjoys a cold beverage, but "NONE" should have been a choice, especially in the hot beverage question.
"Other" is too broad of a term. You could possibly benefitted from a write-in, again, especially in the hot question. The cold question covers just about everything except those drinks like gatorade, propel. smoothies or capri sun which do not fall under any of the choices listed. With a write-in, you might have found that more kids are drinking capri sun than are drinking milk.
As you first answer stated, maybe it's about affordability. Your question might have asked which drinks they like and not which ones they drink. They might not like the drink packed in their lunch at all, or maybe they'd prefer a soda over milk.
To me, there does not seem to be anything that directs a preferred response.
Those are all of my ideas.
Enjoy your results.
Reply:1. It is a convience sample. Only students in the cafeteria are asked instead of all students which are chosen from a simple random sample using the table of random numbers.
2. Depending on what you are trying to determine, whether it is the most popular cold and hot beverage in all high schools or your own high school, can affect the validity of your survey. If it attempts to determine for all high schools, it is an unrepresentative sample.
3. Nonresponse bias, students may refuse to answer survey. This can alter results.

In a survey to determine the smoking habits of first–year students, the number of cigarettes?
that they smoked each
day was counted. The back–to–back stem–and–leaf plot below shows the data collected.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g154/A...
8.1 How many students were questioned in this survey?
8.2 How many men smoked less than 20 cigarettes each day?
8.3 How many female students smoked more than 30 cigarettes each day?
Q9
There are 2 blue pens, 3 red pens and 2 green pens in a closed box. Suppose you draw two pens together without
first looking at the pens. Use Bk , Rl and Gm to denote a blue, red or green pen respectively, where k, l or m denotes
a certain blue, red or green pen, i.e. B1 and B2 denote the two blue pens, etc.
9.1 What is the sample space S in this case? (Give it as a set.)
9.2 Write down n (S), the number of outcomes in S.
9.3 Write down as a set the event E "drawing a red and a green pen".
9.4 Write down n (E) , the number of elements in E.
9.5 What is the probability that you will draw a red and a green pen together?

Hi,
8.1 How many students were questioned in this survey?
There are 20 men and 20 women for a total of 40 students surveyed.
8.2 How many men smoked less than 20 cigarettes each day?
None of the men smoked less than 20 cigarettes a day. The least for any of the men was 20.
8.3 How many female students smoked more than 30 cigarettes each day?
10 of the women smoked more than 30 cigarettes per day. They smoked from 31 to 51 cigarettes each day.

9.1 What is the sample space S in this case? (Give it as a set.)
S = {B1B2, B1R1, B1R2, B1R3, B1G1, B1G2, B2R1, B2R2, B2R3 , B2G1, B2G2, R1R2, R1R3, R1G1, R1G2, R2R3, R2G1, R2G2, R3G1, R3G2, G1G2}
9.2 Write down n (S), the number of outcomes in S.
n(S) = 21
9.3 Write down as a set the event E "drawing a red and a green pen".
E = {R1G1, R1G2, R2G1, R2G2, R3G1, R3G2}
9.4 Write down n (E) , the number of elements in E.
n(E) = 6
9.5 What is the probability that you will draw a red and a green pen together?
6/21 = 2/7 or 28.57%
I hope that helps!! :-)

Why do they not have in the Columbine School that is known?
for its student's misconduct in regards of bringing weapons to class All they need is a metal detector in front of the school entrance that surveys students from carrying concealed weapons?????????????????
Why do they not have in the Columbine School that is known?
It wouldn't really matter if they had metal detectors or not! All the kid would have to do is shoot the guard and then walk right in while the detector goes crazy! It's not going to stop crime!
Reply:Because it is not an iner city school. Report Abuse

Where can I find Market Research companies in California?
I have created a survey for unemployed college students and I am trying to get them to answer it. Are there market research firms out there in California or elsewhere where I can give my survey to them and pay them some money to connect with students to answer this survey for me?
I've been out of school for sometime now and I need to get my survey out to students. Any ideas?
Where can I find Market Research companies in California?
Manta (dot) com has a pretty comprehensive list of market research firms in California-- you can organize them by city as well. It shows 138 total so I won't list them all here. Each listing has a contact name and phone number, and well as a bunch of other free profile info.
Reply:I don't think you need to look specifically in California for the market research company. There are national research firms with panels you can use and target college students. The cheapest place is probably Greenfield, but eRewards and American Consumer Opinion also have very good online panels.
Reply:you wont be able to retire but try
