Question

Ricky is a poor college student but has been tasked with creating a survey for his research methods class. Furthermore, he is working three part-time jobs to put himself through school and thus does not know where he will find time to give out a survey. Even worse, he has waited until there is only a week left to complete the assignment and thus must obtain his data quickly. Due to his particular constraints, what type of survey would likely be the best choice for Ricky to choose?

Interview Survey

Phone Survey

Longitudinal Survey

Online Survey

Mail Survey

Explanation / Answer

Correct Answer - Online survey

Ricky is poor and Interview survey's are expensive and require the person to spend time with people. Mail and longitudinal surveys are time taking methods, and Ricky does not have time. Phone surveys are cheap and accurate but require time to administer. Online surveys are quick to administer and also the scoring and analysis is done quickly.
