help?

[clueless]

hi,

I'm a student and i'm in the middle of a final year project which i would really appreciate your help with....i've produced a questionnare with 5 questions about safety and risk at sea and i'd really appreciate it if you could fill it in if you have time. there's only 5 questions and it'll take less than 5 minutes of your time and would really really save my project from the approaching doom which is the result of having spent too many weekends sailing and not enough studying.

heres the link. http://202.64.35.180/~sall/questionaire.php

If you have any qustions or comments about things in the questionnare (or anything else!) then do let me know!

you sample will be too small. best wil be to fil the answers you though of in the first place, based on a normal distribution.

How about rotating the axes to get the answer you want as well?

i am actually quite interested to see what people have to say - obviously 90% of all statistics are made up on the spot (sorry, horrendous joke), and you can always interpret things how you want, however (for now anyway) i'm quite keen to start honestly. thanks for the advice though.....

i'm also interested in how many people you would say was a fair sample size?

I saw an MSc project use a sample of 5 and he got over 70%. Talk to your tutor on that one.

Re: help in spadefulls

Tell us more (something?) about your project. There is a lot of experience floating around out there, counting the links in their anchor chains, and just waiting for the summer sun to return. With their help you could get a distinction - no one will tell on you!

Good luck
