    The document summarizes the key stages and methods involved in conducting a statistical survey. It notes that a statistical survey involves the scientific collection and analysis of numerical data about units in a population, often through asking questions of individuals. The two main stages are planning and execution. In the planning stage, the problem, objectives, scope, sources of data, and organization must be clearly defined. In the execution stage, control methods are used to ensure accurate data collection, measurement, analysis and interpretation. The collected data is then edited, classified, tabulated and presented for analysis and interpretation.

    Q. 2 What are the methods of Statistical survey? Explain briefly.

    Ans. STATISTICAL SURVEY

    A statistical survey is a scientific process of collection and analysis of


    numerical data. Statistical survey are use to collect numerical information
    about units in 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-

    Statistical surveys are categorized into two stages- Planning and


    Execution.

    Statistical Survey

    Planning Execution

    1) 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 result with least cost and
    time.

    A. Nature of the problem to investigate should be clearly defined in an


    unambiguous manner.
    B. Objective of investigation should be stated at the outset
    objectives could be to:
    ➢ Obtain certain estimates
    ➢ Establish a theory
    ➢ Verify an existing statement
    ➢ Find relationship between characteristics

    A. The scope of investigation has to be made clear. The scope


    of investigation refers to the area to be covered, identification of
    units to be studied, nature of characteristics to be observed,
    accuracy of measurements, analytical methods, time, cost and
    other resources required.

    B. Whether to use data collected from primary or secondary


    source should be determination in advance.

    C. The organization of investigation I the final step in the


    process. It encompasses the determination of the number of
    investigators required, their training, and supervision work needed
    funds required.

    1) 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.
