Chapter 3 Thesis

This chapter outlines the methodology used to study how Filipinos use the internet for business. The researchers conducted an online survey to gather accurate data directly from respondents in the Philippines. The survey samples were balanced across age groups, employment status, income levels, and gender. The survey questions addressed familiarity with business terms and their definitions to assess understanding of online business concepts. The researchers collected and analyzed data over three weeks using statistical summation techniques to ensure the results supported the study objectives and hypotheses.

CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY This chapter consists of the methods used to illustrate the online business of Filipinos through Internet.

RESEARCH DESIGN The researchers decided to use surveying our respondents through filling out forms/papers as a primary tool for gathering data because this method is the most efficient and the researchers shall get the answers directly from our respondents(for more accurate answers). RESEARCH LOCALS The sources the researches have are purely from respondents here in the Philippines. SAMPLES AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUES USED The researchers have based their samples according to which age group they belong to (18 and above), according to their means of living (whether they labor or not; whether they are students), their annual income (within brackets), and gender. Sampling size was determined by the distribution of samplings according to the variable characteristics we have, as we cannot choose random respondents (our study would then be considered void). The respondents were also chosen so that all variables would balance (20 females, 20 males, etc.) INSTRUMENTATION Survey Form. The main basis of our research; contains personal questions (name, age, working status) and the terms we have given, wherein they have to rate 1 to 5 (5 being the highest) of how familiar they are within the terms. They are also asked their definition of the chosen terms. Validation. Through the pre-oral/oral defenses, it is ensured that the professor knows what is going on with the research and so as that he could make necessary changes in the study.

PROCEDURE Some sources of our thesis (related literature and study) came from articles, anecdotes, other research which can be found academically in the Internet, but our main source really focuses on the survey/data or respondents gave. The date were gathered and collated for approximately 3 weeks. The researchers are held responsible for the collection and the assembly of the data. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DATA The researchers took the summation (addition of a set of numbers) in analyzing the research data gathered. The Greek letter (a capital sigma) is used to designate summation. For example, suppose an experimenter measured the performance of four subjects on a memory task. Subject 1 s score will be referred to as x1, Subject 2 s as x2, and so on. In our case, we will use the capital letter N to signify the source of respondents. Sample scores are shown below: Subject 1 2 3 4 X1 X2 X3 X4 Score 7 6 5 8

The way to use the summation sign to indicate the sum of all our four X s is:  This notation is read as follows: Sum the values of X from X1 through X4. The index I (shown just under the sign) indicates which values of X are to be summed. The index I takes on values beginning with the value to the right of the = sign (1 in this case) and continues sequentially until it reaches the value above the sign (4 in this case).

Therefore i takes on the values 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the values of X1, X2, X3, X4 are summed (7+6+5+8=26). And with this formula the researchers made it certain that the data results would support and will be in line with the objectives and the hypotheses of the study.
