Weaknesses
One weakness of the study was non-response bias because out of the 75 samples that I was suppose to recieve back, only 58 came back. Due to nearly seven students that are in OMB which makes them unreachable, and other non respondents with unknown reasons. Another weakness could have been my wording of the question because someone may believe in a religion but doesn't get very involved like going to church every sunday. I suppose I should have also taken into account how strongly the respondant believes in their religion because the answers can come out way different.
Extrapolate
The results of this study can be extrapolated to the population of students attending NOHS. Since the sample was taken from this population so the results should apply to the population. I can also extrapolate the results to nearby public high schools with similar populations because people who are in different cities can still believe in the same religion and go to the same church.
Suggestions
If I was to do this study agian, I would sample more people so that I can reduce my non response bias. Or to make this study more intersting,I can go a little more detail by asking what religion do they believe in. I would also change the wording of my questions. Like, what religion do you believe in if any, just so I can get a concrete answer on whether or not the people who are sampled are religiously affiliated.
