Research Methodology Quiz

What does the term 'Research Locale' refer to?

• The participants involved in the study

• The methodology used for data analysis

• The place or setting where the study is conducted

• The instruments used for data collection

What are 'Inclusion criteria' in a research study?

• Criteria for selecting samples based on subjective judgment

• Criteria that determine which members of the target population can participate

• Criteria for selecting participants based on ease of findings

• Characteristics used to identify potential participants who should not be included

What is the main difference between Probability sampling and Non-probability sampling?

• Non-probability sampling is more reliable than Probability sampling

• Non-probability sampling is used for quantitative research, while Probability sampling is used for qualitative research

• Probability sampling is less stringent than Non-probability sampling

• Probability sampling is based on random selection, while Non-probability sampling is based on quota selection

What is the purpose of 'Cluster Sampling'?

• To choose a sample from a population using pure-chance selection

• To choose a sample in a way that the group is liable to subdivision during data analysis

• To select participants based on pre-determined criteria

• To isolate a set of persons instead of individual members to serve as sample members

What is the activity where the researcher obtains relevant information to address specific research questions?

• Data interpretation

• Data collection

• Data validation

• Data analysis

What does 'Reliability' refer to in research?

• The consistency of the results with the data

• The ability of the data to address the research questions

• The validity of the research instrument

• The accuracy of the data collection procedure

What is 'Quota Sampling' based on?

• Set criteria for selecting samples

• Subjective judgment of the researcher

• Ease of findings

• Random selection

What is the main characteristic of 'Simple random sampling'?

• It assures every member the same opportunity to be in the sample

• It involves selecting participants based on pre-determined criteria

• It depends heavily on the expertise of the researchers

• It isolates a set of persons instead of individual members

What is the purpose of 'Systematic sampling'?

• To choose a sample in a way that the group is liable to subdivision during data analysis

• To determine who should compose the sample based on chance and system

• To choose a sample from a population using pure-chance selection

• To isolate a set of persons instead of individual members to serve as sample members

What is the main focus of 'Stratified Sampling'?

• To choose a sample from a population using pure-chance selection

• To determine who should compose the sample based on chance and system

• To choose a sample in a way that the group is liable to subdivision during data analysis

• To ensure that the selected samples represent different segments of the population
