2 Section A Cluster 2 Fieldwork 1 Four Singapore students carried out an investigation on the needs of the elderly in the neighbourhood around their school. The hypothesis for their investigation was: ‘Healthcare is the most important need for the elderly in the neighbourhood.’ Based on secondary research, the students found out that 50% of the elderly population in the neighbourhood were aged between 71-80 years. The students conducted a survey with the elderly using a questionnaire. The survey was carried out at one site on a June afternoon. They surveyed 76 elderly people. Resource 1 shows the questionnaire the students used for their survey. Resource 2 shows selected results of the survey. Resource 3 shows a comparison of the needs of two different elderly age groups. (a) Explain why this hypothesis is appropriate for the investigation. [4] (b) Suggest the factors that the students could consider when choosing a suitable site to carry out the survey. [3] (c) Explain a suitable sampling method that the students can utilise to conduct the survey. [5] (d) With reference to Resource 1, explain two limitations of the questionnaire. [4] (e) Suggest how the students could minimise potential risks when conducting the survey in their neighbourhood.
