Surveys gather quantitative data based on a sample of the population and make generalizations about the entire population. Using a representative sample, data on a specific topic are collected in order to gain insights on opinions, behaviours and needs of those surveyed. In other words, surveying translates numbers into results that we can analyze and use to better understand our society.
