Question 1
Consider the following statement:
"I have limited funds and little time to get a sense of how students feel about doing a Statistics course online as opposed to a traditional ‘face-to-face' environment." - W. Lutchman - Programmme Advisor.
Assume that the students are still getting accustomed to a new online learning environment and that they are all registered students whose records can be accessed in terms of demographic and socio-metric data.
What should be the approach taken by Mr. Lutchman in accomplishing his task?
In your response: (1) identify the population of interest for this investigation, (2) list two variables that may be investigated, (3) for each variable, state the type of variable and (4) for each variable, state the level of measurement.
Identify the reasons why certain types of samples or a census may not be feasible for this investigation.
