CAPITAL LETTER only.

a. I, II and III only c. I, II, III and IV only
b. II, III and IV only d. I, and II only
______5. Which of the following shows ‘validity’ of instruments?
a. The instrument gives consistent results with repeated trials.
b. The instrument measures what it is intended to measure.
c. The instrument is easy to use and administer.
d. The instrument produces similar results to other instrument.
______6. What is the primary purpose of creating a data analysis plan before conducting data analysis?
a. To summarize the results of the analysis.
b. To outline the research objectives and select appropriate statistical methods.
c. To collect raw data from participants
d. To determine the final conclusion of the study.
______7. You are conducting a survey to measure customer satisfaction with a new product. For one question,
you want to assess customers' feelings about the product’s design. Which of the following would be
more appropriate choice: Likert scale or a semantic differential scale?
a. Semantic differential scale, because it allows respondents to rate the design using bipolar
adjectives such as "Stylish" vs. "Unattractive."
b. Likert scale, because it measures agreement or disagreement with statements about the
design.
c. Likert scale, because it provides more nuanced options for respondents to express their
feelings.
d. Semantic differential scale, because it uses a large number of response points for more
precision.
______8. Which of the following is the main difference between probability sampling and non-probability
 sampling methods?
a. Probability sampling involves random selection, while non-probability sampling requires
stratification of the population.
b. Probability sampling is only used for qualitative research, while non-probability sampling is
used for quantitative research.
c. Probability sampling ensures that every individual has a known chance of being selected,
whereas non-probability sampling does not.
d. Non-probability sampling methods are more accurate because they use a larger sample size.
______9. What is the main difference between descriptive and experimental research designs?
a. Descriptive research aims to establish cause-and-effect relationships, while experimental
research describes characteristics or behaviors.
b. Descriptive research is used only in lab settings, while experimental research can be
conducted in natural environments.
c. Descriptive research focuses on describing characteristics or behaviors without manipulating
variables, while experimental research manipulates variables to determine cause-and-effect
relationships.
d. Experimental research does not require data collection, while descriptive research requires
large sample sizes.
______10. Manny is conducting a study to understand the experiences of high school students regarding
online
learning. He decides to prepare a list of broad questions to guide the students but leaves room for
the students to expand on their responses. What research instrument is the researcher using in this
situation?
a. Survey Questions c. Focus group discussion
b. Observation Checklist d. Interview Questions

B. Directions: Read and analyze the following examples and identify what sampling technique is used. Refer
to
the given choices below and write the letter of the best answer on the space provided. Use
CAPITAL LETTER only.

B. Systematic Random Sampling
C. Simple Random Sampling
______1. Bubbles wants to select seven students for a class presentation from a total of 37 students. They
assign each student a number from 1 to 37 and then use a random number generator to select
seven
numbers.
______2. A researcher wants to survey customers entering a shopping mall. The researcher obtains a list
of all customers entering the mall during a specific time frame. Then, the researcher carefully selects
every 18th customer thereafter.
______3. Jia obtains a list of households in Quezon City and categorizes them into the three income brackets.
From each income bracket, she randomly selects a proportionate number of households to include in
the sample.
______4. Anthony first categorizes the student population into based on their academic year: freshmen,
sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Within each, he randomly selects a sample of students- 50

______1. Max sets up a table in a high-traffic area of the college campus. As students pass by, the researcher
invites them to participate in the study. Students who agree to participate are given a
questionnaire to
assess their stress levels. The researcher collects data from those who are willing and available at
that
moment.
______2. Group C identifies a few initial individuals who have the medical condition of interest. These
individuals
are interviewed, and during the interview, they are asked to recommend others they know
who also
have the medical condition.
