Method of Research Used

Researchers employed quantitative research methods in this study to

monitor and report on how people will react to the idea of a new product, chips as

a healthy snack.

Creswell (2002) noted that quantitative research is the process of

collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and writing the results of a study, while

qualitative research is the approach to data collection, analysis, and report

writing differing from the traditional, quantitative approaches.

The quantitative research approach will be used in this study to analyze

the respondents' perspectives on a certain product. This will allow the

researchers to examine the data of the product evaluation from the survey forms

that the respondents will fill out in order to establish and meet the study's

objectives.

Sources of Data

The sources of data in this study that is take from ninety (90) respondents;

thirty (30) BIT food and service management professors and sixty (60) 2 nd year

BIT food and service management students, in Marikina Polytechnic College,

Marikina City using convenience sampling method.

In Convenience sampling, the researchers select participants because

they are ready and available to be studied. (Creswell, 2012)
