Hey everyone, i have a project for school in which i have to give a questionnaire to a random selection of people and draw conclusions based on the results.

Well, you're compromising the integrity of your experiment by posting the questionnaire here. Having a biased population can distort the results and this forum is certainly a biased population considering the kind of people here.

One of the fundamental rules of statistics is to make your population as diverse as possible. If the questionnaire didn't involve computers, I wouldn't bring it up but there are two factors at work here that will have an impact on your results.

1. The population of this board is almost entirely male.
2. Most people on the board probably have more experience with computers than the average person.

The population of this board is almost entirely male.
