Q-1 (b): Mark the !ollowin# state"ents as &'rue( or &)alse(.

(1%)

'. A logically con$ectured relationship "etween two or more varia"les une%pressed in the

form of a testa"le statement is called assumptions. )

-. ?hen the researcher wants to find out the association "etween the two varia"les is called

differential hypothesis. )
.. ?hen the researcher wants to find out the strength of difference "etween the two

varia"les is called relational hypothesis. )

2. &he relationship unstated in words Positive# ,egative# 3ore than and 7ess than is called

directional hypothesis. )
4. &hose statements that do assume a relationship with indication of any direction is called

non(directional hypothesis. )
6. &here is no significant association "etween varia"le A and B is an e%ample of Alternative

hypothesis. )
6. A statement e%pressed in positive wordings is called ,ull <ypothesis. 8. 1ependent ;aria"le is also called independent ;aria"le.

) )

9. 0ndependent ;aria"le is of primary interest to the researcher. '0. 0ndependent ;aria"le is also called :riterion ;aria"le.

) '

''. A varia"le that influences the dependent varia"le is primarily called Predictor varia"le. '-. :onceptual framewor! discusses the interrelationships among the varia"les.

'

'.. +esearch provides the needed information and actually guides managers to ma!e

informed decisions. '

'2. /irst step in research is not to ignore the pro"lem.

'

'4. Pure research is used to generate a "ody of !nowledge "y trying to comprehend a"out

certain pro"lems. '

'6. A research is used with intention of applying results or findings to solve specific pro"lem

is called applied research. '

'6. 7iterature review does not fail to provide foundation for research.

'

'8. One purpose of literature review is not to review the least relevant information on the

topic of interest. '

'9. Business research is an organi)ed# systematic# data("ased# critical# o"$ective# scientific

inquiry or investigation into a specific pro"lem underta!en with the purpose of finding answers to it. '
-0. 0n frequency a researcher can e%tract frequencies of two varia"les in a single ta"le at the

same time. )
-'. One reason of sampling that it is easy to collect data from entire population. --. 0n realty sampling helps in increasing the fatigue.

) )

-.. >ampling sometimes fails to produce relia"le results. -2.

* represents the mean value of sample. ) )

-4. represents the standard deviation value of population.

-6. + represents the mean value of population.

) )

-6. , represents the standard deviation value of sample.

-8. ?hen the responses of the respondents are placed away from the mean then it is called

normal distri"ution. )
-9. :ensus is not a count of all elements in the human population .0. =lement is every single mem"er of the sample.

.'. Pro"a"ility sampling means when all elements of the population have a !nown chance of

"eing chosen as a su"$ect in the sample. '

.-. Pro"a"ility sampling can "e "roadly divided into unrestricted and restricted pro"a"ility

sampling '
... @nrestricted pro"a"ility is also called simple random sampling.

'

.2. :omple% pro"a"ility sampling is also called restricted pro"a"ility sampling. ' .4. :onsider population is '0# a sample of 2 needs to "e selected# the pro"a"ility of 'st

element is 'A'0# for -nd is 'A9 and so on is an e%ample of simple random sampling. '
.6. >ystematic sampling is also a type of pro"a"ility sampling.

' '

.6. >tratification refers to more inter group heterogeneity and intra group homogeneity. .8. >ampling -4B from each level is specifically called proportionate stratified random

sampling. '
.9. ?hen elements of the population do not have any equal pro"a"ilities to "e choses as a

su"$ect of the sample is called non(pro"a"ility sampling. '

20. :ollection of information from mem"ers of population "ased on convenient availa"ility

is not the e%ample of pro"a"ility sampling. '

2'. Purposive sampling means data o"tained from specific group of people who can provide

the desired information. '

2-. Cudgment sampling involves choice of su"$ects advantageously placed in the "est

position to provide needed information. '

2.. Cudgment sampling is used when limited num"er or category of people have the

necessary information sought. '

22. 5uota >ampling is "est when minorities are underrepresented. 24. :rona"chDs alpha is a measure of +elia"ility of varia"les.
