Correct answers: 3 and 4.
- 3 (prevents flawed results): Statistical training helps you choose appropriate tests, handle missing data, check assumptions, and spot errors so survey analyses are valid.
- 4 (avoids bias): Quantitative methods and proper procedures reduce opportunities to cherry-pick or misinterpret data, helping keep conclusions objective.
(1 is not a valid reason—“more impressive” is superficial; 2 is more about survey/question design and plain-language skills than core statistical analysis.)
