Front

What are the two types of research problems mentioned?

Back

1. Problems relating to states of nature; 2. Problems relating to relationships between variables.

Front

What is the importance of formulating a research problem?

Back

It helps in defining the problem unambiguously, which aids in discriminating relevant data from irrelevant ones.

Front

What is an extensive literature survey?

Back

It involves reviewing existing literature related to the research problem to gain insights and knowledge about the topic.

Front

What is a working hypothesis?

Back

A tentative assumption made to draw out and test its logical or empirical consequences.

Front

What are the four categories of research purposes?

Back

1. Exploration; 2. Description; 3. Diagnosis; 4. Experimentation.

Front

What is the role of research design?

Back

To provide a conceptual structure for conducting research efficiently, yielding maximal information with minimal effort, time, and cost.

Front

What is the difference between probability and non-probability sampling?

Back

Probability sampling allows each element to have a known chance of being included, while non-probability sampling does not.

Front

What is the purpose of data collection in research?

Back

To gather appropriate data necessary for addressing the research problem.
