Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a good research problem?

• Feasibility

• Clarity

• Subjectivity

• Novelty

The first step in identifying a research problem is:

• Data collection

• Literature review

• Formulating a hypothesis

• Selecting a statistical tool

A research problem should be:

• Vague and broad

• Specific and researchable

• Based on assumptions only

• Without any theoretical foundation

Which source is commonly used to identify research problems?

• Personal experiences

• Newspapers

• Social media

• All of the above

Which one among the following statement is true in the context of the testing of hypotheses?

• It is only the alternative hypotheses that can be tested.

• It is only the null hypotheses that can be tested.

• Both the alternative and the null hypotheses can be tested.

• Both the alternative and the null hypotheses cannot be tested.

The gap between existing knowledge and the desired knowledge defines:

• Research objectives

• Research problem

• Sampling technique

• Hypothesis

What are the conditions in which Type-I error occurs?

• The null hypotheses get accepted even if it is false

• The null hypotheses get rejected even if it is true

• Both the null hypotheses as well as alternative hypotheses are rejected

• None of the above

What is the correct sequence of the research process?

• Data collection → Problem identification → Literature review → Analysis

• Problem identification → Literature review → Research design → Data collection → Analysis → Conclusion

• Literature review → Data collection → Research design → Conclusion

• Research design → Literature review → Problem identification → Data collection

The research process begins with:

• Data collection

• Problem formulation

• Hypothesis testing

• Report writing

A pilot study is conducted to:

• Finalize research questions

• Identify potential sampling errors

• Test the feasibility of the study

• All of the above
