charts diagrams or table.

DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT:

Dear citizens,

I have typed a survey with questions that will be caried out in the Freeport

community, to find data on the ration of domestic violence. This is completed for my Social

Studies S.B.A. You can answer the questions with your own answers with honesty, without

being wrong and putting your names is unnecessary.

Sincerely yours,
Daniel A. Bissoondial

PROCEDURE OF DATA COLLECTION:

Since the population of Freeport consists 500. It was calculated that a sample of 10% was

necessary to ensure accurate conclusion about Domestic Violence.

A pre-approved questionnaire was prepared and a total of 70 questionnaires were printed and

distributed to my sample population. A cover letter was attached to the questionnaire which

introduces me to the participants and informs them on my purpose.

The participants received only a day to finish the questionnaire at their own convenience. The

data given for the collection of completed questionnaire was June 6th. The only concern I had

was that some copies of the questionnaires would be lost or incomplete but I accounted for

this by distributing extra copies. The ideal sample is 60 for this study to be accurate.
