1-Qualitative research focuses on gathering numerical data and statistical analysis False:
Qualitative research focuses on non-numerical data and doesn’t primarily involve
statistical analysis
2-In quantitative research, data collection methods include surveys and experiments. True
3-An independent variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher. True
4- Correlation implies causation, meaning if two variables are related, one must cause the
other. False: Correlation does not imply causation; it indicates a relationship between
variables but does not prove that one causes the other.
5-Surveys, experiments, and case studies are examples of quantitative research methods True
6- An abstract is a brief summary of a research paper that highlights its key points True
7-Quantitative research primarily focuses on collecting and analyzing numerical data to
establish patterns and relationships True
8- Quantitative research aims to explore subjective experiences and meanings behind
individuals' behaviors False: Quantitative research typically aims to gather numerical data and
does not focus on exploring subjective experiences or meanings behind behaviors.
9-A hypothesis is a proven fact in research, not an educated guess about the relationship
between variables True
10- A literature review is an overview and evaluation of existing research related to a specific
topic True
