EXPLANATORY ANSWERS I

12. (c): When we study about an event by 5. (b): Division of population on the basis of

taking a sample from the population it class, income, education level etc isis cal.led statistic and a group . of called stratification and every member

statistical measures is called statistics. of ea~h stratum has equal chance of

4. (b): In random sampling technique every being selected by the researcher. In

number of the population has equal this way characteristics of variouschance of being selected. strata are identified and studied.

6. (c): The more the sample represents thepopulation the more accurate are the

results of the study. Sample can be made

more representative either by increasingthe size of the sample or by following

more rellable method of sampling.

7. (c): If characteristics of the population ishomogeneous a small sample may be

enough for study because it may

represent the whole population easily.

8. (d): When long survey is being done andpopulation is scattered over a large area

then researcher selects various groups

from the whole area. The selection of

these groups is bailed on the discretionofthe researcher.

14. (c): In normative researches only data are

collected from the survey and afteranalysing them results are declared.


33/94

Thus there is no need of manipulating

independent variables. In ex-post facto researcheffects are already known and

researcher studies the. causes lying

behind these ' effects. Here too

independent variable are notmanipulated.

15. (a): Studies opposite to ex-post facto are

experi-mental ones where variouscauses are first presented and their

effects due to manipulation of the single

variable are seen. .16. (b): Reference collection is not needed in

experimental studies because a

researcher relies only on his own

results which may be different from the

previous studies.22. (b): It is but natural to face various

problems in life and seeking solutionsto these problems is a must. A true

teacher always tries to get solution of

his problem by doing formal or informalresearches.

25. (c): Such type of studies are always

comparative in nature. He should say

that Mr. X is socially or economicallybackward as compared to Mr Y.

32. (b): If there is only one coin the probability

of its being head and tail is 50% - 50%.

If coins are two then each will have 25%chance of getting down head and tail.

Now if coins are four this chance will be

12Y2% each and so on.37. (a): Questionnaire is most appropriate technique

for studying such problems

because a large sample of thepopulation can be covered in a short

period by mailing it to the respondants.

41. (a): When one variable is increasing and

the other one is decreasing thencorrelation will be negative, zero

correlation means variables are

independent of each other and inpositive correlations direct relationship

is seen in both the variables

42. (b): In cross-sectional studies population of


34/94

various ages, sex or religions is taken

and their attributes are collected. Thenwhich attribute is common to a

particular group is identified by

averaging the attributes.
