You are given the assignment one day of conducting market research.  Your task is to administer a survey to fundis making furniture in a particular part of town.  The survey involves asking them about the materials they use to make sofa sets and how much they pay for each material.  After surveying the first 5 fundis, you realize that for most materials they are giving you similar prices.  But for one type of material each fundi is telling you a very different price from the others, and you begin doubting the information.  What would you do?

We're conducting market research about bed pillows and we want to understand a) what is the profile of people that buy pillows in supermarkets, b) what brands and types they buy and c) why they buy the products.
