Re: How to Do a Survey

The page explains in details the various aspects of survey.
I feel its importance could've been emphasised in a better way,
for example the number of viewers of a particulat television channel or a programme makes it a great deal marketable and the competition to sponsor the the pogramme gets the best offers. Similarly, the creditbility of opinion polls conducted by certain reliable and unbiased agencies have an influence on the electorate. Most of the consumer products are launched in the market after survey on a number of samples. This apart, the advertisement costs in magazines, websites, radio, television channels much depend on survey results. These surveys are accepted as a scientific approach for decision-making.
The page is well designed, covers all the fundamental aspects that need to be known and its contents are are quality stuff. Well done, yet again, MathsIsFun!
