Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?

(i) In INDUCTION (Inductive Reasoning), we derive the conclusion from the Universal fact.

(ii) In an empirical study (applied research), it is difficult to draw a definite conclusion because of possibilities of errors at different stages of research.

(iii) Replicability implies that the results of the test of research objectives should be supported again and again when same type of research is being repeated in other, similar circumstances

(iv) Longitudinal research design is one-shot research study at a given point of time and consists of sample of the population of interest.

	A.	(i) and (ii)
	B.	(ii) and (iii)
	C.	(iii) and (iv)
	D.	(i) and (iv)

Answer 1

Here, the true statments are (ii) and (iii)

ii) In an empirical study (applied research), it is difficult to draw a definite conclusion because of possibilities of errors at different stages of research. Because,it empirical study is not a general study and it is based on a particular sets of numerical data under some restrictions.

(iii) Replicability implies that the results of the test of research objectives should be supported again and again when same type of research is being repeated in other, similar circumstances. Becuse, replicabilty is the replication that is repetetion. It is one of the principle of an experimental design which is used to know the clear efffect of a treatment applied for two or more homogeneous units.

Ans. B. (ii) and (iii)

(i) and (iv) are false.

(i)
