    The type of research concerned with numerical measurements and statistics is...

    • Real

    • Quantitative

    • Qualitative

    • Unclear

    Correct Answer
    A. Quantitative
    Explanation
    Quantitative research is the type of research that focuses on numerical measurements and statistics. It involves collecting and analyzing data using statistical methods, such as surveys, experiments, and observations. This type of research aims to quantify and measure variables, allowing for objective and statistical analysis. It is different from qualitative research, which focuses on understanding and interpreting subjective experiences and meanings. Therefore, the correct answer is quantitative.

    Which is a type of research method? - ProProfs

    Which is a type of research method?

    • Descriptive

    • Open

    • Closed

    • Linear

    Correct Answer
    A. Descriptive
    Explanation
    Descriptive research is a type of research method that aims to describe and explain the characteristics of a particular phenomenon or group. It involves observing and documenting behaviors, attitudes, and opinions without manipulating or controlling any variables. This method is commonly used in social sciences to gather information about a population or to explore a specific research question. It provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the subject matter, allowing researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the topic at hand.

    The formulation of trials and experiments in medical research involving human beings is....

    • Clinical study design

    • Surgical research design

    • Evolution design

    • Study trial

    Correct Answer
    A. Clinical study design
    Explanation
    Clinical study design refers to the process of planning and organizing trials and experiments in medical research involving human beings. It involves determining the research question, selecting the study population, deciding on the appropriate study design (such as randomized controlled trials or observational studies), defining the study protocol, and analyzing the data collected. This ensures that the research is conducted ethically, with proper consideration for patient safety and scientific rigor. Surgical research design, evolution design, and study trial are not specific terms related to the formulation of trials and experiments in medical research involving human beings.

    Which of the following is an example of research method? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is an example of research method?

    • Source

    • Correlational

    • Real

    • Open

    Correct Answer
    A. Correlational
    Explanation
    Correlational is an example of a research method because it involves examining the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them. This method is used to determine if there is a correlation or association between variables, but it does not establish causation. Researchers use correlational studies to gather data and analyze the strength and direction of the relationship between variables, allowing them to make predictions or identify patterns in the data.

    Which is a type of study design?

    • Approval

    • Operation

    • Meta analysis

    • Study

    Correct Answer
    A. Meta analysis
    Explanation
    Meta analysis is a type of study design that involves the statistical analysis of data from multiple independent studies on a specific topic. It aims to combine and summarize the results of these studies to provide a more comprehensive and reliable conclusion. Meta analysis allows researchers to identify patterns, trends, and associations that may not be apparent in individual studies. It is a valuable tool in evidence-based medicine and helps in making informed decisions by providing a higher level of evidence.

    An example of quantitative data is... - ProProfs

    An example of quantitative data is...

    • Length

    • Slope

    • Line

    • Color

    Correct Answer
    A. Length
    Explanation
    Quantitative data refers to numerical information that can be measured or counted. In this case, length is a measurable quantity that can be expressed in numbers, making it an example of quantitative data. On the other hand, slope, line, and color are not inherently numerical and cannot be measured in the same way, so they do not qualify as quantitative data.

    Qualitative research can be described as... - ProProfs

    Qualitative research can be described as...

    • Exploratory

    • Collative

    • Volatile

    • Ordinary

    Correct Answer
    A. Exploratory
    Explanation
    Qualitative research is often described as exploratory because it aims to explore and understand complex phenomena in-depth. It focuses on subjective experiences, perceptions, and motivations of individuals or groups, allowing researchers to gather rich and detailed data. Unlike quantitative research, which aims to measure and quantify variables, qualitative research emphasizes understanding the context and meaning behind the phenomena being studied. It involves methods such as interviews, observations, and analysis of textual or visual data. Through exploration, qualitative research aims to generate new insights, theories, and hypotheses, making it an appropriate description for this type of research.

    A relationship between two variables is referred to as...

    • Curve

    • Correlation

    • Association

    • Linear

    Correct Answer
    A. Correlation
    Explanation
    Correlation refers to the statistical relationship between two variables. It measures the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables. A high correlation indicates a strong relationship, while a low correlation indicates a weak relationship. This term is commonly used in statistics and data analysis to understand how changes in one variable are related to changes in another variable.

    Which is a type of qualitative method of study design?

    • Homely

    • Ethnography

    • Branching

    • Lively

    Correct Answer
    A. Ethnography
    Explanation
    Ethnography is a type of qualitative method of study design. It involves immersing oneself in a specific social group or culture to observe and understand their behaviors, beliefs, and practices. Ethnographers typically spend extended periods of time in the field, conducting interviews, participating in activities, and documenting their observations. This method allows for in-depth exploration and analysis of the social context and cultural nuances within a specific group, providing rich insights into their experiences and perspectives.
