There’s a good chance you’ve taken a survey before. A survey is a questionnaire that gathers information from a group of people. Companies, governments, schools, and other types of organizations frequently send out surveys.
Surveys can be filled out by hand. They can also be answered over the phone, through the mail, or submitted digitally.

The structure of a survey
In terms of their overall structure, the title appears at the top. This is followed by the objective or purpose of the survey. For example, maybe the town hall wants to ask residents about the construction going on in the center of town. A fitness club might ask its members which sports they play, so they know which amenities would be popular.
After the title and objective, a survey consists of open-ended questions, close-ended questions, or a combination of both.
After the answers are collected, this information is turned into a data set. This data set is often organized into graphs, which might be included in a report. Graphs allow viewers to visualize the data, making it easier to understand and interpret.
In the next lesson, we’ll explore sampling and how it can be used to collect data.
