Systematic Sampling: Selection is done at regular intervals from a larger population, for
instance, every 10th person on a list. It is simple but can introduce bias if there is a
hidden pattern.
Chapter 4: Data Analysis and Presentation: Provides the findings of the research,
usually with charts, tables, and interpretations of the data collected.
Ordinal Scale: Categorizes data with a defined order but without a consistent difference
between categories. For instance, ranking (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
Interval Scale: Measures variables with ordered categories and equal intervals between
values, but no true zero. An example is temperature in Celsius.
Ratio Scale: Similar to the interval scale, but with a true zero point, allowing for
meaningful comparisons of ratios. Examples include height, weight, and age.
Confidentiality and Privacy: Researchers must ensure that participants' personal data is
protected and kept confidential, respecting their privacy throughout the research process.
