Math 9 11.1 Factors Influencing Data Collection

The article I read was The Quebec prohibition Referendum in 1919.

When I first read the article, I thought about how the referendum was not very valid and that the timing and the subject would affect the results. After learning about Influencing factors, I now think that the results were affected by the fact that this was the prohibition era, and because the people wanted to be able to at least drink some alcohol, just to enjoy themselves. In the future, when reading and interpreting survey data, I’ll make sure to look out for influencing factors, and other things that would decrease the validity and reliability of the survey.
