Meaning of statistical survey

A Statistical survey is a scientific process of collection and analysis of numerical data. Statistical surveys are used to collect numerical information about units in a population. Surveys involve asking questions to individuals. Surveys of human populations are common in government, health, social science and marketing sectors.

Stages of statistical survey (Listing and Explanation)

Statistical surveys are categorised into two stages:

Planning
Execution

Planning a Statistical Survey: The relevance and accuracy of data obtained in a survey depends upon the care exercised in planning. A properly planned investigation can lead to best results with least cost and time. The figure 2.2 gives the explanation of steps involved in the planning stage.
Execution of Statistical survey: Control methods should be adopted at every stage of carrying out the investigation to check the accuracy, coverage, methods of measurements, analysis and interpretation. The collected data should be edited, classified, tabulated and presented in diagrams and graphs. The data should be carefully and systematically analysed and interpreted.

Methods for collecting data

Direct personal observation: In the direct personal observation method, the investigator collects data by having direct contact with units of investigation. The accuracy of data depends upon the ability, training and attitude of the investigator.
Indirect oral interview: Indirect oral interview is used when the area to be covered is large. The investigator collects the data from a third party or witness or head of institution. This method is generally used by police department in cases related to enquiries on causes of fires, thefts or murders.
Information through agencies: Methods of collecting information through local agencies or correspondents are generally adopted by newspaper and television channels. Local agents are appointed in different parts of the area under investigation. They send the desired information at regular intervals.
Information through mailed questionnaires: Often, information is collected through questionnaires. The questionnaires are filled with questions pertaining to the investigation. They are sent to the respondents with a covering letter soliciting cooperation from the respondents. The respondents are asked to give correct information and to mail the questionnaire back.
Information through schedule filled by investigators: Information can be collected through schedules filled by investigators through personal contact. In order to get reliable information, the investigator should be well trained, tactful, unbiased and hard working.
