This document provides a multiple choice quiz with answers on research methods. It covers topics like the definition of research, qualities of researchers.
A. Probability Sampling
B. Non-probability Sampling
C. Random Sampling
D. Cluster Sampling
Correct answer is: B. Non-probability Sampling
Non-probability sampling does not give every individual a known chance of selection.
A. Non-Directional Hypothesis
B. Null Hypothesis
C. Directional Hypothesis
D. Experimental Hypothesis
Correct answer is: C. Directional Hypothesis
Directional hypothesis specifies the expected direction of the relationship between variables.
A. Stratified Sampling
B. Systematic Sampling
C. Random Sampling
D. Cluster Sampling
Correct answer is: D. Cluster Sampling
Cluster sampling selects groups rather than individuals for the study.
A. Non-Directional Hypothesis
B. Null Hypothesis
C. Directional Hypothesis
D. Experimental Hypothesis
Correct answer is: B. Null Hypothesis
Null hypothesis predicts that no significant relationship exists between the variables.
A. Stratified Sampling
B. Systematic Sampling
C. Random Sampling
D. Cluster Sampling
Correct answer is: A. Stratified Sampling
Stratified sampling ensures representation from different sub-groups in the sample.
A. Not significant and statistical
B. Significant and statistical
C. Both
D. None of these
Correct answer is: A. Not significant and statistical
If the null hypothesis is accepted, the observed difference is not statistically significant.
A. Stratified Sampling
B. Systematic Sampling
C. Random Sampling
D. Double Sampling
Correct answer is: C. Random Sampling
Random sampling gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being selected.
A. Not significant and statistical
B. Significant and statistical
C. Both
D. None of these
Correct answer is: B. Significant and statistical
Rejection of the null hypothesis indicates that the observed difference is statistically significant.
A. Stratified Sampling
B. Systematic Sampling
C. Random Sampling
D. Double Sampling
Correct answer is: B. Systematic Sampling
Systematic sampling selects individuals based on a fixed interval (e.g., every 5th person).
A. General culture
B. Scientific Theories
C. Personal experience and analogies
D. All of these
Correct answer is: D. All of these
Hypotheses can arise from a variety of sources, including general culture, scientific theories, and personal experiences.
