African-Americans only fought for the American side during the Revolutionary War.
A)
- Do you believe that raising taxes is a fair way of financing public projects? Yes/No
- Do you believe that a new General Motors facility would bring benefits to the state? Yes/No
- How much do you agree with the idea of implementing a new tax in order to finance this facility? Totally agree/Agree/Somewhat agree/Somewhat Disagree/Disagree/Totally Disagree
I would ask these questions because they address the elements that I find important. They would allow me to examine the respondents' view of taxes, General Motors, and the use of taxes to finance private companies.
B)
I would distribute this survey to the working people of Michigan, as they are the ones most likely to care about changes in taxation. I would try to distribute this survey to 1% of the population of the state. This is because such a number of people would give me enough results to obtain results that are statistically significant. However, it is still a small enough number, so I can manage the data easily.
C)
I would first look at an example of an opinion survey conducted in the state of Michigan. I would also look at a survey that discusses the subject of raising state taxes. Finally, I would look at an academic source that explains how to create effective survey questions.
