Which Demographics Are Relevant?

In class today, someone asked about the following question on Quiz #2:

  • Which of the following sets of demographic variables are relevant to a survey about campus services for first-year college students?
    1. Race, gender, disability accommodation eligibility
    2. State of residence, gender, disability accommodation eligibility
    3. Race, gender, SAT score
    4. Gender, state of residence, declared major

What do you think is the best answer? Why? Which demographics do you think would be most relevant for that study?
