Coverage : All Blocks
Note:Attempt all the questions and submit this assignment on or before 31st October, 2016 to the
coordinator of your study centre.
Question.1. Does exploratory research always lead to conclusive
research? Give adequate examples to explain your perspective?
Answer:Exploratoryresearch,asthe name states,intendsmerelyto explore the research questions
and does not intend to offer final and conclusive solutions to existing problems.
Conductedinorderto determine the nature of the problem,thistype of research is not intended to
provide conclusive evidence, but helps us to have a better understanding of the problem. When
conducting exploratory research, the
Question.2. What is a research hypothesis? Do all researches
require hypotheses formulation? Explain.
Answer:Everytrue experimentaldesignmusthave this statement at the core of its structure, as the
ultimate aimof any experiment.The hypothesis is generated via a number of means, but is usually
the resultof a processof inductive reasoningwhereobservations lead to the formation of a theory.
Scientists then use a large battery of deductive methods to arrive at a hypothesis that is testable,
falsifiable and realistic.
The precursor to a hypothesisisaresearchproblem, usuallyframedasa question.Itmightask what,
or why, something is happening.
For example, to use a topical subject, we might

2. Question.3. What should be the ideal structure of a research
report? What are the elements of the proposed structure?
Answer:You may have finished the best research project on earth but, if you do not make an
interesting and well laid out paper, then nobody is going to take your findings seriously.
The main thingto rememberwithanyresearchpaperisthatit isbased upon an hourglass structure.
It starts with general information, as you conduct a literature review, and becomes specific as you
nail down a research problem and hypothesis.
Finally, it again becomes more general as you try to apply your findings to the world at general.
Whilst there are a few differences between the various
Question.4. A social organization claiming to be promoters of sex
education sought the views of parents from the three Indian states
of Punjab, Bihar and Gujarat on introducing sex education at the
school level. The views of 80 parents selected at random from each
of the three states were found as under:
Punjab Bihar Gujarat
In favour 50 20 45
Against 30 60 35
Do the sample data provide enough evidence to support the view
that the proportion of parents in favour of introducing sex
education in schools is the same in all the three states? Use α =
0.01.
Answer: the proportion of parents in favour of introducing sex education in schools is the same in
the three states.
1 The proportions is not the same.
Question.5. Write short notes on:

3. i) Footnotes
Answer:Footnotesare notesplacedat the bottom of a page. They cite references or comment on a
designatedpartof the textabove it. For example, say you want to add an interesting comment to a
sentence you have written, but the comment is not directly related to the argument of your
paragraph. In this case, you could add the symbol for a footnote. Then, at the bottom of the page
you could reprint the symbol and insert your comment. Here is an example:
This is an illustration of a footnote.1 The
ii) Exploratory Research
Answer:Exploratoryresearchisresearchconductedforaproblemthathas notbeenclearly defined.
It often occurs before we know enough to make conceptual distinctions or posit an explanatory
relationship.Exploratoryresearchhelpsdetermine the bestresearchdesign,datacollection method
and selectionof subjects.Itshoulddrawdefinitiveconclusions only with extreme caution. Given its
fundamental nature, exploratory research often concludes that a perceived problem does not
actually exist.
Exploratory research often relies on secondary research such
iii) Use of factor analysis.
Answer:Factor analysis is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed,
correlatedvariablesintermsof a potentially lower number of unobserved variables called factors.
For example, it is possible that variations in six observed variables mainly reflect the variations in
twounobserved(underlying) variables.Factoranalysissearchesforsuchjointvariations in response
to unobserved latent variables. The
