The document discusses the purpose and process of data analysis. It aims to systematically collect, organize, and analyze data to answer research questions without ambiguity. The analysis involves description, exploration, and explanation of data to construct and test theories, and investigate prediction, correlation, and causation. While research design is the overall plan, methods are the specific strategies used to implement the design.
