Questionnaire – It a predefined series of questions that are used to gather information from individuals
Sampling – In this technique, a subgroup of the population will be selected to answer the survey question.
Also, know that the most popular type of survey questions are open-ended and closed-ended.

In the closed-ended questions :
The list of responses must include a possible response, and also the meaning of the response should never overlap.
Closed-ended questions are preferred in survey research mainly because it is easy to count the frequency of a response.
In open-ended questions:
Survey respondents are requested to answer a question in their own words.
Responses are categorised into a smaller list of responses that are counted by the study team to conduct statistical analysis.

Consider the order of the questions that are presented. Sensitive questions should be put at the end of the survey. Also include routine questions such as age, gender, and marital status, at the end. Never use Double-barreled questions in a survey. Such questions are problematic because survey respondents are requested to give response for two questions
