Module 5 Assignment

[NOTE: The question reinforces the concepts from Week Four] Springfield Township decides to send an email to all township residents asking whether or not they would favor establishing a town watch system to reduce neighborhood crime.

A. Define our population of interest (who do we want information about)?

B. 253 of the 6,469 residents respond to the email (this is our sample). What is our response rate (in terms of a percentage)?

C. In what way do you think the results of this survey likely to be biased – (Who do you think is the most and least likely to respond?)

D. What might be a better way to sample this population of 6,469 residents to find an accurate reflection of the feelings on a neighborhood watch?
