Information is an introductory
paragraph explaining the intervention’s
relevance to the study conducted.
A. TRUE 22. Intervention pertains to what
is going to happen to the subjects of the
study.
A. TRUE 23. When research data appears
to be measurable in numerical form, it is
considered quantitative data.
A. TRUE 24. In doing research, data
collection is a major component of research.
A. TRUE 25. Data analysis in research is a
process in which gathered information is
summarized in such a manner that it will
yield answers to the research questions.
A. TRUE 26. The two major statistical
techniques in data analysis, are descriptive
and inferential statistics.
A. TRUE 27. Test of the Relationship
between Two Variables may refer to
Pearson’s r (parametric), Phi coefficient
(non-parametric for nominal and

(41- 50) Essay. Direction: Briefly discuss the
following questions.
41-45. What are the five types of quantitative
research design?
 The five types of quantitative
research design are Descriptive RS,
Correlational RS, Ex Post Facto, Quasi-
Experimental, and Experimental RS.
46-48. How will you differentiate the
Descriptive Statistical Technique and
Inferential Statistics? (2-3 sentences)
 The Descriptive Statistical
Technique provides a summary of the
sequenced or ordered data from a research
sample. On the other hand, the Inferential
Statistics is used when the research study
focuses on finding predictions, testing
hypothesis, and finding interpretations,
generalization, and conclusion.

49-50. Why is it important to have a good
research instrument? (2 sentences)
 It is important to have a good
research instrument because it establishes
the reliability and validity of the study when
it comes to the data collection. Also, it
strengths the study as it provides accurate
results and ensures the data gathered are
sounds and replicable.
