38
Q

-Uses scientifically collected and statistically analyzed data to investigate observable phenomena.
-It uses a scientific method in designing and collecting numerical data.
-Numerical data are generally easier to collect.
-Uses Data expressed in numbers.
-Some data are not directly countable and require conversion from non-numerical info into numerical info.

A

Quantitative Research

39
Q
  • To obtain more meaningful result, the data must come from a large sample size.
A

Large sample size

40
Q
  • Data gathering and analysis of results are done accurately, objectively and are unaffected by the researcher’s intuition and personal guesses.
A

Objectivity

41
Q
  • Data is numerical which makes presentation through graphs, charts and tables possible and with better conveyance and interpretation.
A

Concise Visual Presentation

42
Q
  • The use of statistical tools gives way for a less time consuming data analysis.
A

Faster Data Analysis

43
Q
  • Data taken from a sample can be applied to the population if sampling is done accordingly, i.e., sufficient size and random samples were taken
A

Generalized Data

44
Q
  • Depending on the type of data needed, collecting can be quick and easy.
A

Fast and Easy Data Collection

45
Q
  • Data is taken and analyzed objectively from a sample as a representative of the population, making it more credible and reliable for policymaking and decision making.
A

Variables

60
Q

Type of variables

Commonly known as the ‘X’ variable.

A

Independent Variable

61

•This is the variable that is being measured by the researcher.
•Commonly known as the ‘Y” variable.

A

Dependent Variable

62
Q

•Also called ‘confounding’ variables because their presence influences the outcome of the experiment in an undesirable way, they add to an error.
