choices. Encircle the correct answer.

1. Which of the following BEST defines quantitative research?

A. It is an exploration associated with libraries, books and journals.
B. It is an activity concerned with finding new truth in education.
C. It is a systematic process obtaining numerical information about the world.
D. It is an activity of producing or proving a theorem.
2. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of quantitative research?
A. Data are gathered before proposing a conclusion or solution to a problem.
B. Quantitative methods can be repeated to verify findings in another setting, thus
strengthen and reinforcing validity of findings eliminating the possibility of
spurious conclusions.
C. Figures, tables or graphs showcase summarized data collection in order to show
trends, relationships or differences among variables. In sum, the charts and tables
allow you to see the evidence collected.
D. It seeks to gather a more comprehensive understanding of activities related to
human behavior and the attributes that rule such behavior.
2. Which of the following describes the characteristics of research where data are in form of
statistics?
A. Objective B. Numerical Data C. Replication D. Large Sample Size
3. This characteristic of quantitative research which refers to its necessity to arrive at a more reliable
data analysis.
A. Large Sample Sizes C. Numerical Data
B. Replication D. Objective
4. It is done to check the correctness and verify the findings of the study.
A. Large Sample Sizes C. Numerical Data
B. Replication D. Objective
5. The researchers know in advance what they are looking for. The research questions are well-
defined for which objective answers are sought. All aspects of the study are carefully designed
before data are gathered.
A. Future Outcomes C. Clearly defined Research Questions
B. Numerical Data D. Structured Research Instruments
6. Which research design seeks to describe “what is”?

A. describes the nature of a situation or an event
B. presents the profile of persons, events, and things
C. describes past situations
D. there is no manipulation of variables or search for cause and effect related to the
performance
9. Which of the following illustrates a quantitative study?
A. attributes to malnutrition in children

or observed and that varies among people or organization being studied.

17. How is the independent variable different from the dependent variable?
a. the independent variable is manipulated during the experiment to understand the effects of this
manipulation on the dependent variable
b. the dependent variable is manipulated during the experiment to understand the effects of this
manipulation on the independent variable
c. dependent and independent variables are only used when researchers are not interested in
looking at the effects of one thing on another, but only in how variables may be related
d. the independent variable is a variable not included in the experiment, but is related to one of
the variables in the experiment
