This document discusses key concepts in research methodology including different types of research, research design, sampling and estimation methods, and hypothesis testing. It describes basic, applied, problem-oriented and quantitative/qualitative research. Research design includes descriptive, correlational, semi-experimental and experimental approaches. Sampling methods can be probability-based like systematic, stratified and clustered sampling or non-probability like convenience, quota and judgment sampling. Common hypothesis tests mentioned are z-test, t-test, ANOVA, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H and rank correlation tests.

SAMPLING AND ESTIMATION HYPOTHESIS REPORT CONCEPT TYPE OF RESEARCH Basic research Applied research Problem oriented research. Problem solving research. Quantitative research Qualitative research
Descriptive (case study , survey and observation)
Research design ( plan to answer your research question) its method. Descriptive (case study , survey & observation) Correlational ( case control study, observational study) Semi experimental ( field experiment) Experimental ( experiment with random assignment) Review( literature review, systematic review) Meta analytic Sampling and estimation Methods of sampling(on the basis of probability and non probability) Systematic sampling(P) Stratified sampling(P) Clustered sampling(P) Convenience sampling(NP) Quota sampling(NP) Judgment sampling(NP) Snowball sampling(NP) Sampling distribution (sample mean, showing every possible result) Central limit theorem Standard error( measure the variability of statistic) Statistical estimation(process of making judgment about a population based on sampling properties) Hypothesis testing Z test( best used for greater than 30 sample) T test (most commonly applied for testing hypothesis.) ANOVA( analysis of variance) Chi square test ( used if two categorical variable are related in any way) U test( by applause is the 1st destination for freelance software testing and feedback) H test( used for comparing two or more independent samples of equal or different sample size) Rank correlation test ( measure the degree of similarity between two ranking)
