To these methods belong interview‚ focus group‚ questionnaire‚ and participant observation. Quantitative research‚ in contrast to qualitative‚ operates with numerical data. Qualitative research‚ as a rule‚ uses textual data (Mack‚ Woodsong‚ et al.‚ 2005). The most important feature which differentiates one research from another is flexibility. Usually‚ the procedure of quantitative research is prescribed in advance. Therefore‚ it excludes any unforeseen changes during the

qualitative data cannot be accurately measured and counted as they are generally expressed in words rather than numbers. To achieve the aim of this study quantitative research method was used. The main advantages of quantitative methods are related to flexibility and versatility and also to the fact that will provide to the researcher deep understanding of the topic or research problem (Malhotra‚ et al.‚ 2012). Saunders et al (2007) state research approach can be divided into two categories and they are

Conway–Maxwell–Poisson distribution is easily computed. It is a flexible distribution that can account for overdispersion or underdispersion that is commonly encountered in count data. We also explore two sets of real world data demonstrating the flexibility and elegance of the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson distribution in fitting count data which do not seem to follow the Poisson distribution. Keywords: Conjugate family; Conway–Maxwell–Poisson distribution; Estimation; Exponential family; Overdispersion;

of Grading has been introduced with the aim that it will minimize misclassification of students on the basis of marks. It will eliminate unhealthy competition among high achievers. It will reduce pressure and will provide the learner with more flexibility. It will lead to a focus on a better learning environment Operational It will facilitate joyful and stress free learning. In grading system “My friends who have got 71 or 79 marks will be awarded the same grade.” In grading system every student
