                    Correct answer is: B. Population
                
                                
                    The sample's characteristics should reflect those of the population from which it is drawn.

                    Correct answer is: C. Sampling
                
                                
                    Sampling refers to selecting individuals to represent the population.

                    Correct answer is: A. Probability Sampling
                
                                
                    Probability sampling ensures each individual has a known chance of being chosen.

                    D. Experimental Hypothesis                
                                 
            
            
                
                    Correct answer is: A. Non-Directional Hypothesis
                
                                
                    Non-directional hypothesis indicates that a relationship exists without specifying the direction.

                    Correct answer is: B. Non-probability Sampling
                
                                
                    Non-probability sampling does not give every individual a known chance of selection.

                    C. Directional Hypothesis                
                                
                    D. Experimental Hypothesis                
                                 
            
            
                
                    Correct answer is: C. Directional Hypothesis
                
                                
                    Directional hypothesis specifies the expected direction of the relationship between variables.

                    Correct answer is: D. Cluster Sampling
                
                                
                    Cluster sampling selects groups rather than individuals for the study.                
                                 
            
         
    
    
			 
		
		
						
					
	 
  
	
		
		
	
					
				    
    
    
        
        
            
            
                                
                    A. Non-Directional Hypothesis

                    D. Experimental Hypothesis                
                                 
            
            
                
                    Correct answer is: B. Null Hypothesis
                
                                
                    Null hypothesis predicts that no significant relationship exists between the variables.
