3 (c) A group of students investigated the well-being of residents in Tampines. They tested the hypothesis: ‘There is variation in the wellness of residents across different age groups.’ They used a closed-ended questionnaire survey to collect information on the well-being of residents. They organised themselves into two groups, with each group conducting the survey at a location shown in Fig. 1.3 (Insert). Each group of students surveyed 400 participants, and they used quota sampling to select 100 participants from each age group. They ensured that the participants are residents of Tampines before conducting the survey. Fig. 1.3 (Insert) shows the locations where the students conducted their survey and Table 1.1 (Insert) shows the results of the questionnaire survey. (i) Evaluate the reliability of the students’ data collection methods. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. ……………………………………………………………………………………………...…… [3] 2025 Preliminary Examination/CCHMS/Secondary 4/Elective Geography/2260/02 [Turn Over
