Activity 1: Determine whether inquiry or research is applicable
to the given situations:
1. A person wants to know the occupant of one condominium. 2. A student wants to know the medicinal effects of guava leaves. 3.

Activity 2: Classify the following word/group of words if it is strength or weakness of quantitative research: - Precise - Uses Statistical Too - Inadequacy of Numbers - Less than 100% Accuracy - Assumptions in Statistical Methods - Less prone to sampling bias - Error can be Computed QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH Strengths Weaknesses
Activity 3: Differentiate qualitative research from
quantitative research by giving their characteristics.
