Include your calculations in a 1- to 2-page document in which you also do the following:
Explain the reasons Remington’s selected a survey research design to gather patron data.
Examine the research objectives in the project carefully and create a research question from each objective. Assignment Instructions here
Remington chose a survey research design to gather patron data as it is one of the least expensive and time intensive ways to collect data. It allows for anonymity and gives the participant the ability to answer the questions truthfully. Survey research is used to assess thoughts, feelings, and opinions. With the predetermined questions it allows for a representation of a larger sampling size.
Research Objectives on Research Process
Explain Remington’s choice to use a Survey Research Design rather than a Secondary Data Design and an Observation Design.
Explain the type of data Remington’s collected in the Performance Perceptions section of the survey, and explain if and why it was better than the other choices of nominal, ordinal, and ratio data.
Evaluate Remington’s question construction, including question content, question wording, and response strategy.
