For my AP Statistics class, I have to do a survey about whatever I choose, and I can collect data from any (reliable) source. So, instead of awkwardly going around the school asking people, I am going to ask you guys!  My questions: | Age? Race? Gender? | What is your favorite genre of music? | | 17, Caucasian, Male | Electronic/Classic Rock |
Thanks a bunch! -Nathan |

For my AP Statistics class, I have to do a survey about whatever I choose For what purpose? If the aim is to teach you the hard way that people don't answer questions properly, this is being a stunning success. But if the aim is to test a hypothesis or identify possible correlations, you might need some more, and more focussed, questions. and I can collect data from any (reliable) source. Well, that rules out the Internet. People in general lie to researchers, but they're more likely to do so behind the anonymity of the tubes. And since this is a self-selecting survey, it's even less reliable. |

And since this is a self-selecting survey, it's even less reliable. I almost posted the same thing, that this isn't a random sample, but perhaps that's okay for this particular project? Maybe the population he's sampling is hobbyist Java game programmers? |

You guys need to learn about the difference between 'genre' and 'genres', including the topic starter.
Clear questions, proper examples and easy interpretation of those questions are extremely important in any inquiry.

Yep, I know. I am doing a survey at a nursing home this weekend, and one with my dad's fantasy football league. Three completely different populations that I will compare.
