In the yard were chickens and rabbits. Together they had 45 heads and 110 legs. How many chickens and how many rabbits was in the yard?

[@DrNic]

10 rabbits and 35 chickens. (if all chickens then there would be 90 legs. There are 20 spare legs, so there must be ten rabbits.)

[@alfredtubale790]

@@masonlory3565 this can be represented with two equations. both have 1 head (H)...chicken has 2 legs (L) and rabbit has 4..equations are chicken (H) + rabbit (H) = 45 AND chicken (L) + rabbit(L) = 110... then substitute corresponding values for legs and heads.. so you come up with chicken + rabbit = 45 AND 2chicken + 4rabbits=110... solve the equation and you'll get rabbit=10 and chicken = 35.

[@DrNic]

What ideas do you have? (I’m a teacher)

Indeed - I'd forgotten about that one. My son, who did some of the editting, is pretty funny.

[@xseatsgrass1778]

Is putting an "other" option in my closed question make it an open question?

[@DrNic]

No. Many closed questions need an “other” option as you might not think of all alternatives. You could put an open question after, saying please specify. I did this in a survey about fast food and found I’d left out pizza as an alternative.

Hello! Great video! Two quick questions for you, if you don't mind. My research question is: "What community programs would be most beneficial to male adolescents between the ages of 11 and 17 who are experiencing adolescent dating violence (including physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, as well as stalking behaviors) in Orange County, California?" .... I am (hypothetically) planning to ask the opinions of men ages 25 to 35 who have experienced such dating abuse in their adolescent years. I am having difficulty coming up with ideas on what variables should be measured and am wondering if you might have any suggestions to get me going on the right path? Second question, is it OK to mix a bunch of types of questions on the questionnaire...much like the last cartoon example displayed in your video? Thank you!

[@DrNic]

This sounds like a sensitive study. Do make sure you get ethics approval. It is good to provide a variety of question types. Look at what other research has been done in this area of study and see what questions they used.

Hello! I'm trying to write some questions for my survey but not sure if they are connected to each other or not. It would be amazing if you have any recommendations to get help.

[@postindierock5063]

Would it not be better, instead of saying regularly, sometimes, or never, as those can be subjective and mean different things to different people, to say "daily, weekly, monthly"? Or at least say "regularly (daily), sometimes (weekly or monthly), and then include rarely (yearly) and never? I thought that quantifying the choices, in this case in terms of time, would be clearer to people rather than regular/sometimes/rarely/never.

[@DrNic]

There is a case for both, depending on what you are referring to. The problem with daily and weekly is that it is unclear where you would put two times a week and similar. You could ask how many times a week or similar. Sometimes what you want to know is person's subjective feeling about how frequent something is.

Can we use 3 variables of our research in a single survey questionnaire.. Please guide .

[@DrNic]

Surveys usually include multiple variables - one per question. Is this what you are asking?

[@aimanmehak9097]

@@DrNic if we have to find a correlation between 3 variables in our research, then is it effective or appropriate to use all of 3 variables in a single questionnaire to measure rather than making separate questionnaire for each?

[@DrNic]

You MUST use the same questionnaire to find if there is a correlation between variables if each observation is a person. For correlation you need to have the score for each variable over the same person. I suggest you watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/novbn62co9lorJo to get an idea of what an observation is.

[@fatin0011]

Hi Dr Nic, I am PhD candidate, currently i am designing my questionnaire which is about "Deception in Websites Design and Textual content", normally because of deception all the questionnaire statements are negative, and i have heard that negative statement will effect the validity and reliability, what i should do, what do you think of mixing of positive and negative statement?.

[@DrNic]

My personal experience is that negative statements are really difficult for people to understand, and mixing them is even worse. If at all possible make the statements positive. Can you give me an example of a question?
