Maldives context.
A detailed conceptual framework is designed, incorporating variables identified during the literature
review. This framework is visually represented in a flow chart, elucidating the relationships and
interactions among the key elements of the study.
10.5 Hypothesis:
Hypotheses are formulated based on the conceptual framework, serving as testable propositions
that guide the research. These hypotheses will be refined and validated through data analysis.
10.6 Sampling:
