Question 149

Dr. Aris is the lead coach of a competitive youth swimming club and is considering shifting the main training sessions to a 5:00 AM slot. This proposed schedule would require much higher commitment from the young athletes and significant logistical support (such as early transport) from their parents.

To gather feedback on this proposal, Dr. Aris designs a questionnaire containing a combination of open and closed questions, distributed to the swimmers and their parents. He uses volunteer sampling to recruit his respondents.

Explain one strength and one weakness of Dr. Aris using a questionnaire to gather opinions about the proposed training schedule change.
