Answer 1

Answer: Hi!

Here are some advantages to surveys:

-Surveys are easy to develop and administer.

-Surveys can collect large numbers of data from large numbers of people.

-Surveys are easy to read and are (usually!) simple and neat.

-The data collected from surveys can have a wide range of possibilities (attitudes, opinions, beliefs, etc.)

Here are some disadvantages:

-People may not always provide honest answers.

-Sometimes the questions may be unclear.

-Open - ended questions may take much longer to analyse, because you may have to read each one.

-A certain answer choice may not be available when none of the answer choices apply to the person taking the survey.
