Which of the following should not be a criterion for a good research project?

• Demonstrates the abilities of the researcher

• Is dependent on the completion of other projects

• Demonstrates the integration of different fields of knowledge

• Develops the skills of the researcher

Which part of the research format gives an overview of the topic being chosen by the researcher/author?

• Objectives

• Hypothesis

• Conclusion

• introduction

it is a widely used graph to illustrate the distribution of quantitative (numerical) data.

• Histograms

• Pie charts

• Box plots

• Bar graphs

It is the type of average value that describes the most common in the data.

• Mean

• Median

• Mode

• variance

What is the main idea of a research design?

• A way of conducting research that is not grounded in theory

• The choice between using qualitative or quantitative method

• The style in which you present your research findings, e.g. a graph.

• A framework for every stage of the collection and analysis of data.

Which statement supports the consideration in a research proposal?

• Your academic status and experience

• The difficulties you encountered with your previous reading on the topic

• Your choice of research methods and reasons for choosing them

• All of the mentioned.

How would you express your understanding of standard deviation?

• It is the distribution of values with only one mode.

• It is the measure of how far a typical observation is from the average of the data

• It is the difference between the smallest and the largest value of the data.

• It is the way of separating equal numbers of values in the data into parts

In using machine learning with Python, how would you generate the middle value after sorting all the values?

• mean()

• median()

• mode()

• ave()

How would you apply summative evaluation?

• This is conducted after the program is developed

• It is an ongoing continuous process evaluation

• The evaluation is conducted after the completion of each stage

• The evaluation is conducted before the development start.

In a longitudinal survey of quantitative research, what study is defined where a specific population is followed over a period of time?

• Panel study

• Trend study

• Individual study

• Cohort study
