Hi, based on the previous suggestions, we have changed the method to a telephone survey instead of the Internet. But some elder members did not answer the phone call. What can we do then?

Hello, can anyone help me with sampling errors? I plan to test the elder’s attitudes towards recreational services under the pandemic situation with zero sampling error.

Based on my sample of the elder’s mobility score, the standard deviation is large. Does it mean there is a great variety in mobility levels of older adults?
