This document appears to be a quiz about quantitative research methods. It contains multiple choice questions about key aspects of quantitative research, including that its purpose is to add to a body of knowledge through quantifiable evidence that can explain or predict events of interest. It examines social phenomena through experiments and statistical analysis to numerically describe what is seen in the research and arrive at specific, observable conclusions that can be generalized. Characteristics include relying on statistical analysis of variables and data in the form of numbers and statistics to test hypotheses and answer clearly defined research questions through replicable studies.
