Question

A survey is sent out to 500 people asking questions related to the link between religion and sexual behavior at a young age. The survey does not have any tracking device, and the results are sent to a database that gives no indication of who or where the results came from. However, the database is posted online for religion and human behavior researchers to freely conduct statistical analyses. The responses to this survey are
a. both confidential and anonymous.
b. confidential only.
c. anonymous only.
d. neither confidential nor anonymous.

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the the identities of the survey takers were kept secret, it would be anonymous. If it wasn't anonymous, then people would know who took the survey.

Since the survey results were released online for analyses, it is not confidential. If it were to be confidential, then the survey distributors would have kept the results to themseles.
