Question: Many government statistical organizations and other collectors of survey data now have Web sites where they provide information on the survey design. Some Internet addresses are given in Table (these are subject to change, but you should be able to find the organization through a search). The first site listed, www.fcdstats.gov, provides links to U.S. government agencies that spend at least $500,000 per year on statistical activities. Many of these agencies conduct surveys. The Web site www.lib.umich.edu/libhome/Documents.center/stats.html provides links to information about surveys on a wide variety of topics, from finance to agriculture.
Look up a site on the Internet describing a complex survey. Write a summary of the purpose, design, and method used for analysis. Do you think that the design used could be improved upon? If so, how?
