Coverage : All Blocks
Note : Answer all the questions and submit this assignment on or before 31st October 2011, to the coordinator of your study center.
1. Under the circumstances stratified random sampling design is considered appropriate? How would you select such sample? Explain by means of an example.
2. “Experimental method of research is not suitable in management field.” Discuss, what are the problems in the introduction of this research design in business organisation?
3. What is the meaning of measurement in research? What difference does it make whether we measure in terms of a nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio scale?
4. “Interpretation is a fundamental component of research Process”. Explain. Why so? Describe the precautions that the researcher should take while interpreting his findings.
5. Write shot notes on
a) Criterion of good research.
b) Dependent and Independent variable.
c) Case study method.
d) Components of a Research Problem.
1. Under the circumstances stratified random sampling design is considered appropriate? How would you select such sample? Explain by means of an example.
Stratified sampling is commonly used probability method that is superior to random sampling because it reduces sampling error. A stratum is a subset of the population that share at least one common characteristic. Examples of stratums might be males and females, or managers and non-managers. The researcher first identifies the relevant stratums and their actual representation in the population. Random sampling is then used to select a sufficient number of subjects from each stratum. "Sufficient" refers to a sample size large enough for us to be reasonably confident that the stratum represents the population. Stratified sampling is
