1. Define Ex-post facto research

Researcher does not have the control over the variables. They describe only the nature and
characteristics of variables.
2. Explain the term of randomisation
Randomisation provides opportunity for each element of population to be participated in
the sample.
3. What do you meant by hypothesis
Hypothesis is a tentative theory/ assumption based on the experience of the researcher or
experience of some other people which taken from the literature.
4. Explain the necessary of hypothesis testing
To prove or disprove the assumed relationship between the variables.
5. What is research design ?
Research design is the master plan of research. It includes, research type, method of data
collection and sampling design.
6. What do you meant by probability sampling?
Probability sampling applied when the population is known or trying to estimate it based on
the nature of study. This technique assumes that all the element of population have equal
chance to participate in the sample.
7. What do you meant by non-probability sampling?
Non-probability sampling technique applied when the researcher not able to estimate the
population infinite in nature.
8. List down the primary type of measurement scales
Nominal scale
Ordinal scale
Ratio scale
Interval scale
Here, nominal and ordinal scaling are non-parametric and ratio and interval scalings are
parametric.
9. What is plagiarism?
Coping content tin the study. Numbers of software are available to detect the plagiarised
content in the study Eg. Viper anti-plagiarism software.
10. What is APA format/style?
American psychological association. APA specifying the font size, face, and content of the
report.
