Purposive sampling involves selecting a sample based on specific characteristics or purpose relevant to the research study.

Question 5

The selection of sample known as ???????????????????????.
A)Sampling
B)Population
C)Research method
D)Sample design.

Accepted Answer

Sampling is the process of selecting a subset of individuals from a population to estimate characteristics of the whole population.

Question 6

To get an insight into the research topic is known as ???????????????????????.
A)Descriptive research
B)Exploratory research
C)Diagnostic research
D)experimental research.

Accepted Answer

Exploratory research is conducted to explore a research problem or question when there are very few or no earlier studies to refer to. The focus is on gaining insights and familiarity for later investigation or undertaken when problems are in a preliminary stage of investigation.

Question 7

Survey of literature , the experience survey & cast study method are the methods of ???????????????.
A)Descriptive
B)Diagnostic
C)Experimental
D)Exploratory.

Accepted Answer

Survey of literature, the experience survey, and case study method are primarily used in the exploratory phase of research. They are tools to gain insights and understand the existing state of knowledge or to explore areas where there is insufficient knowledge, making them exploratory in nature.

Question 8

??????????????????? means the survey of people who have practical experience with the problem.
A)Exploratory research design
B)Survey literature
C)Experience survey
D)Case study.

Accepted Answer

An experience survey focuses on gathering information from individuals who have direct, practical experience with the subject in question. This method is used to gain insights and understanding from those who have firsthand knowledge of the problem or situation being studied.

Question 9

????????????????? is the procedure for gaining knowledge by conducting observation under controlled techniques.
A)Exploratory design
B)Descriptive design
C)Diagnostic design
D)Experimental design.

Accepted Answer

Experimental design is the procedure for gaining knowledge by conducting observations under controlled techniques. It involves manipulating one variable to determine if changes in one variable cause changes in another variable. This method is key in establishing cause-and-effect relationships.

Question 10

A finite subset of a population, selected from at with the objective of investigating its properties is called ?????????????????.
A)Population
B)Universe
C)Sample
D)Census.

Accepted Answer

A sample is a finite subset of a population, selected with the objective of investigating its properties, to make inferences about the population.

Question 11

Representative, adequate size, free from bias, conformity to subject matter are the characteristic of ? ?????????????????.
A)Research
B)Research problem
C)Research design
D)Good sample.

Accepted Answer

These characteristics describe a "Good sample," which is essential for ensuring the validity and reliability of research findings. A representative and adequately sized sample that is free from bias and conforms to the subject matter allows for accurate generalizations and conclusions.

Question 12

?????????????????? is a method of collecting data in which information are collected from every individual of the population.
A)Census
B)sample
C)Sampling
D)none of these.

Accepted Answer

Census is the method where information is collected from every individual in the population, unlike sampling where only a subset is chosen.

Question 13

Obtaining information about an entire population by examine only a part of it.
A)Census
B)Primary data collection
C)Secondary data collection
D)Sampling.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Obtaining information about an entire population by...

Question 14

Representative part of universe is called??????????????????????.
A)Population
B)Element
C)Unit
D)Sample.

Accepted Answer

A sample is a subset of a population that is used to represent the entire group as accurately as possible.

Question 15

In ???????????????? method each item has its own chance for being selected.
A)Non?probability method.
B)Probability sampling method
C)Census meth
D)None of these.

Accepted Answer

In probability sampling methods, each item in the population has a known, non-zero chance of being selected, allowing for a representative sample to be obtained.

Question 16

???????????????? may be simple random sampling & complex random sampling.
A)Probability sampling
B)Non -probability sampling
C)Census method
D)none of these.

Accepted Answer

Simple random sampling and complex random sampling are both methods used within probability sampling, where each member of the population has a known and non-zero chance of being selected.

Question 17

?????????????????????? is the sampling procedure which does not afford tiny basis for estimating the probability for each item to be included in the sample.
A)Probability sampling
B)Non -probability sampling
C)Census method
D)none of these.

Accepted Answer

The answer of ?????????????????????? is the sampling procedure which does...

Question 18

???????????????????? is a sample selected from a population in such a way that every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected & the selection of any individual does not influence the selection of any other.
A)stratifies sample
B)non?random sample
C)Simple random sample
D)complex random sample.

Accepted Answer

A simple random sample is defined by the property that every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected, and the selection of one individual does not influence the selection of another. This ensures that the sample is representative of the population.

Question 19

??????????????????????? is a sampling procedure in which the elements for the sample are chose from the population in groups.
A)Stratified sampling
B)Systematic sampling
C)Cluster sampling
D)multiphase sampling.

Accepted Answer

Cluster sampling is the correct choice because it involves selecting entire groups or clusters from a population for inclusion in the sample, rather than selecting individual elements. This method is often used when a population is naturally divided into groups or when individual sampling would be impractical.

Question 20

Cluster sampling consists in forming suitable ?????????????????? of units.
A)parts
B)Elements
C)Strata
D)Clusters.

Accepted Answer

Cluster sampling involves forming clusters of units, which are then used as the primary sampling unit rather than individual elements within the population.
