B 7.) The Cure Hospital wants to know the details about doctors and patients of their hospital for analysis to be done
by the company’s management regarding the hospital’s work. For this purpose, the survey was conducted to get
information about the amount of time the doctor takes for one patient, how often a patient comes into the hospital,
the patient’s satisfaction level after taking the doctor’s consultation, and related other questions. Patients were
given the template of the patient satisfaction survey which includes the different survey questions having the answer
options in numerical form. This is an example of what type of research?
A. Qualitative Research B. Quantitative Research
C. Action Research D. Pure Research

B 8.) XYZ Ltd. decided to run the project to improve the literacy rate in the village. It surveyed all the people living in
that village to know how many would join their program. This metric can be used to evaluate the program.
A. Qualitative Research B. Quantitative Research
C. Action Research D. Exploratory Research

B 9.) The following are techniques in data collection of a qualitative research except one:
A. Interview B. Observation C. Focus-group discussion D. Survey

D 10.) Which of the following is not a limitation of qualitative research?

A. contexts, situations, events, conditions, and interactions cannot be replicated to any extent, nor can
generalizations be made to a wider context than the one studied with any confidence.
B. The time required for data collection, analysis, and interpretation is lengthy.
C. Because of the time and costs involved, designs do not generally draw samples from large-scale data sets.
D. None of the above.
11-15
I. Researcher expertise: Poor knowledge of the application of the statistical analysis may negatively affect analysis
and subsequent interpretation (Black, 1999).
II. Large sample sizes are needed for more accurate analysis.
III. The researcher might miss observing phenomena because of focus on theory or hypothesis testing rather than on
the theory of hypothesis generation.
IV. The problem of adequate validity or reliability is a major criticism.
V. Because of close researcher involvement, the researcher gains an insider’s view of the field.
VI. Useful for testing and validating already constructed theories.

II. True or False. Write True if the statement is correct, write False if the statement if wrong.
T 16.) Quantitative Research controls or limits Respondents answers by giving options.
T 17.) In qualitative research, the research problem discussion is used to highlight the importance of central idea
Identify what research category is being described.
T 18.) In quantitative research, the research problem section is used to guide or direct the types of questions or
hypothesis asked in a study.
T 19.) In qualitative and quantitative research, both might use similar approaches in data collection such as
observation.
T 20.) In qualitative and quantitative research, even though researchers might use similar approaches in data
collection such as interview yet for quantitative research, they use more closed-ended approaches in which they
identify set responses categories such as strongly agree and such.

Identification. Write A if it is Quantitative, B for Qualitative, and C for both.

A 21.) Numbers and statistics
B 22.) Particular or specialized findings that is less generalizable
B 23.) Examines the breadth and depth of phenomena
A 24.) Researcher and their biases are not known to participants in the study, and participant characteristics are
deliberately hidden from the researchers.
A 25.) Study behavior under controlled conditions
C 26.) Researchers desire to find meaning for the research results beyond a particular study.
C 27.) Objectivity is critical.
