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:Exploratory research, as the name states, intends merely to explore the research questions and does not intend to offer final and conclusive solutions to existing problems.

Conducted in order to determine the nature of the problem, this type 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:Every true experimental design must have this statement at the core of its structure, as the ultimate aim of any experiment.The hypothesis is generated via a number of means, but is usually the result of a process of inductive reasoning where observations 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 hypothesis is a research problem, usually framed as a question. It might ask what, or why, something is happening.

For example, to use a topical subject, we might

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 thing to remember with any research paper is that it is based 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:

i) Footnotes

Answer:Footnotes are notes placed at the bottom of a page. They cite references or comment on a designated part of the text above 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:Exploratory research is research conducted for a problem that has not been clearly defined. It often occurs before we know enough to make conceptual distinctions or posit an explanatory relationship. Exploratory research helps determine the best research design, data collection method and selection of subjects. It should draw definitive conclusions 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, correlated variables in terms of 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 two unobserved (underlying) variables. Factor analysis searches for such joint variations in response to unobserved latent variables. The
