STAT0024 Social Statistics: In-course Assessment 2022-2023
The survey company you work for has been invited by a political party to carry out a
survey to investigate the opinions of UK citizens (at voting age) about Brexit. The
survey results should indicate the estimate of the proportion of people who think
Brexit was a right decision and those who think it was a bad decision. The survey
results should also allow for comparisons of different demographic groups (e.g., age,
gender, etc.) in their opinion. The survey should examine the economical as well as
social impact of Brexit on people’s life, the way people perceive the impact. Your
task is to produce a first draft of a plan for internal discussion within your company.
This should include the following elements.
1. Sampling
Explain how you propose to carry out the sampling. Topics you should discuss here
include, but are not necessarily limited to, how you will select your sample, how you
will administer the questionnaire, and the advantages of and possible problems with
your preferred approach.
2. Questions
Discuss the design of the questionnaire, both in general terms - broad areas of
questioning, numbers and types of questions – and by giving 3 specific examples of
questions you would include. These examples should be carefully worded and
should include the format of the response.
3. Analysis and presentation
Discuss how you propose to present the results to the politicians in the party. As
well as giving an overview, take one of your 3 example questions and explain in
detail how you would present the results for that question. Make up some data or
summary statistics if that helps. Your discussion should include some comments on
quantifying the uncertainty in the results.
