Answer - (B)

Validity implies the extent to which the research instrument measures, what it is intended

to measure. Reliability refers to the degree to which scale produces consistent

results, when repeated measurements are made. A reliable instrument need not be a valid

instrument

Repeated measures design uses the same subjects with every branch of research, including

the control. For instance, repeated measurements are collected in a longitudinal study in

which change over time is assessed. Other studies compare the same measure under two

or more different conditions

2. When a researcher includes in his sample those individuals who are willing and are

readily available, the sampling technique is called

(A) Simple Random Sampling (B) Quota Sampling (C) Snowball Sampling (D) Incidental

Sampling

Answer - (D)

Quto sampling---A sampling method of gathering representative data from a group. As

opposed to random sampling, quota sampling requires that representative individuals are

chosen out of a specific subgroup. For example, a researcher might ask for asample of 100

females, or 100 individuals between the ages of 20-30.

Snowball sampling--In sociology and statistics research, snowball sampling[1] (or chain

sampling, chain-referral sampling, referral sampling[2][3]) is a nonprobability sampling

technique where existing study subjects recruit future subjects from among their

acquaintances. Thus the sample group is said to grow like a rolling snowball. As the sample

builds up, enough data are gathered to be useful for research. This sampling technique is

often used in hidden populations, such as drug users or sex workers, which are difficult for

researchers to access. As sample members are not selected from a sampling frame,

snowball samples are subject to numerous biases. For example, people who have many

friends are more likely to be recruited into the sample. When virtual social networks are

used, then this technique is called virtual snowball sampling

Inciendental samping--Convenience sampling is a type of non-probability sampling that

involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand.

This type of sampling is most useful for pilot testing.

3. A method of sampling that ensures proportional representation of all sections of the

population is termed as

Sampling

(A) Longitudinal studies (B) Social surveys (C) Follow up studies (D) Horizontal Studies

Answer - (C)

Follow up study=Most reported follow up studies based on hospital populations are

descriptive or observational; that is, information is collected on the outcome of cohorts of

children with particular characteristics-for example birthweight groups, infants who were

ventilated, infants with seizures, and so on.

8. Which of the following is appropriate to test a non-directional hypothesis?

(A) One tailed test (B) Two tailed test (C) Both (A) and (B) (D) None of the above

Answer - (B)

NON DIRECTIONAL HYPOTHESIS==A nondirectional hypothesis is a type of

alternativehypothesis used in statistical significance testing. ... In contrast, a directional

alternative hypothesisspecifies the direction of the tested relationship, stating that one

variable is predicted to be larger or smaller than null value, but not both.

(b) and (c) are correct.

Answer - (A) A PowerPoint presentation on t tests has been created for your use. The t test

is one type of inferential statistics. It is used to determine whether there is a significant

difference between the means of two groups. With all inferential statistics, we assume the

dependent variable fits a normal distribution.
