You will find this icon before some chunks of text in the
following pages. It tells you to carefully study the concepts,
principles, or processes discussed in the text. It also tells
you that there is a question to answer or an idea to think
about it.
From the good habit of reviewing the text and how much
time, effort, interest and patience you invest in your learning
will determine how sure you are in having good scores in the
checkpoint. Your attitude will help you learn more and
effectively that makes you a better learner.
You will find this icon at the end of every lesson. It signals a
self-test to determine how well you have achieved the
objectives set in the unit. Study the lesson well and you will
perform quite well in the self-test. This will be submitted to
your teacher after you answering the self-test. Write legibly
and always follow instructions properly.
Are you now set to perform the activity, answer the questions, and read the
texts? If so, then you may get your ball pen and notebook as I will request you to
answer the questions included herein.
Good luck, enjoy reading and doing the activity. God bless.

MIND CHALLENGE. Answer the following questions, follow
directions given.
1. It highlights numerical analysis of data hoping that the numbers yield unbiased
results that can be generalized to some larger population and explain a
particular observation.
_________________________
2. It suggests that the data concerned can be analyzed in terms of
numbers.
_______________________
3. This kind of research derives conclusion from observations and manifestations
that already occurred in the past and now compared to some dependent
variables.
_______________________
4. It describes the norm level of characteristics for a given behavior.
_________________
5. In this design, the researcher can collect more data, either by scheduling more
observations or finding more existing measures. ________________________
6. It is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the direction,
associations and/or relationship between different variables or groups of
respondents under study.
______________________
7. It refers to the overall strategy that you choose in order to integrate the
different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby
ensuring you will effectively address the research problem.
__________________________
8. It controls for both time-related and group-related threats. Two features mark
true experiments: two or more differently treated groups; and random
assignment to these groups.
____________________________
9. All variables in the study can contribute to the over-all prediction in an
equation that adds together the predictive power of each identified variable.
_______________________
10.Its main purpose is to observe, describe and document aspects of a situation
as it naturally occurs and sometimes to serve as a starting point for hypothesis
generation or theory development.
__________________________
II. Multiple Choice. Choose the correct letter that best describe the question or
complete the statement. Write your answer before the number.

QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
PRE-TEST QUESTIONS:
Answer the questions below. Follow instructions properly.
IV. IDENTIFICATION. Identify what is being asked in each number. Write your
answer after the statement. Choose your answer from the box below.
1. It refers to the characteristics that have two or more mutually exclusive values
or properties.
________________________
2. Variables that represent categories that cannot be ordered in any
particular way.
________________________
3. Special kind of independent variables that are measured in a study because
they potentially influence the dependent variable. __________________________
4. Variables that have values that lie along an evenly dispersed range of numbers
when there is an absolute zero, as opposed to net worth, which can have a
negative debt-to-income ratio-level variable. ____________________________
5. Kind of variable that are not actually measured or observed in a study. They
exist but their influence cannot be directly detected in a study.
__________________________
6. It “stands between” the independent and dependent variables, and they show
the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
__________________________
7. Variables that represent categories that can be ordered from greatest to
smallest.
_____________________
8. Kind of variable that probably cause, influence, or effect outcomes. They are
variably called treatment, manipulated, antecedent or predictor variables.
________________________
9. Variables that depend on independent variables; they are the outcomes or
results of the influence of the independent variable. _______________________
10.Variables that have values that lie along an evenly dispersed range of numbers.
______________
II. DETERMINATION. Determine if what type of variable are the following. Write I if
the variable is Interval, N if Nominal, R if Ratio and O if Ordinal.
KINDS OF VARIABLES
Several experts have lumped together the following as the major kinds of
variables:
I. Identification. Identify the variables and the constant in each title of study
presented below. Determine the independent and dependent variable; then
determine whether discrete or continuous variable.
FOR EXAMPLE: A study on the relationship of study habits and academic performance
of BSU college students.
