Question

Questionnaires were sent to 200 randomly selected business of different sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) for a total of 600 question (so, 200 to each size). The total response rate was 41%, but the breakdown by size was interesting: 125 small businesses responded (62.5%), 81 medium business responded (40.5%), and 40 large businesses responded (20%). Did the size of a company affect the response rate to this survey? Use the above percentages to support your answer. Determine the most appropriate graphical display for this data, and create that display on the back side of this page.

Answer 1

Answer:

No. The size of the company doesn't affect the response rate of the survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of surveys: 600. Distributed as follows:

200 sent to Small companies

200 sent to Medium companies

200 sent to Large companies.

Response rate:

125 sent to Small companies

81 sent to Medium companies

40 sent to Large companies.

The percentage calculation goes as follows:

(total number of answered surveys)/total number of sent surveys

[( 125 + 81 + 40 ) / 600 ] * 100 = 41 %

If we add a single survey answered, despite the size of the company, we obtain the same result because the total of answered surveys is not affected.

In the attached document you will fin the the proper graphical display.
