RESEARCH DESIGN

This study is a quantitative research. Aliaga and Gunderson (2002) have described

the quantitative research methods very well. According to them “Quantitative research is

an inquiry into a social problem, explain phenomena by gathering numerical data that are

analysed using mathematically based methods e.g. in particular statistics”.

RESEARCH RESPONDENTS
To avoid biases and to have a fair distribution of the total number of samples to

the different target sections, the researcher used Slovin`s formula n = N / (1+Ne2), to get

the total number of samples and the formula for proportional allocation (𝑛𝑖 = 𝑛 𝑁

(𝑁𝑖)),. Table 2 shows the total number of samples drawn out from the total number of

population and how the samples are being distributed.
