 what is it?
Research is a process of executing various mental acts for discovering and examining facts and
information to prove the accuracy or truthfulness of claims or conclusion. It requires to work logically
or systematically and collaboratively with others.
There are two major type of Research

1.Qualitative Research– is a research type that puts premium or high value on people’s
thinking
or point of view conditioned by their personal traits.

2.Quantitative Research - systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable

data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques. It collects
information from existing and potential customers using sampling methods and sending out
online surveys, online polls, questionnaires, etc., the results of which can be depicted in the
form of numerical. After careful understanding of these numbers to predict the future of a
product or service and make changes accordingly.
 what is in?
A topic is researchable if the knowledge and information about it are supported by
evidence that is observable, factual and logical.

Qualitative variables aren’t ordered on a numerical scale in statistics so they are

assigned nominal scales. The word “nominal” means “name”, which is exactly what
qualitative variables are. A nominal scale is a scale where no ordering is possible or
implied. It describes data that fits into categories. For example:
Eye colors (variables include: blue, green, brown, hazel).
States (variables include: Florida, New Jersey, Washington).
Dog breeds (variables include: Alaskan Malamute, German Shepherd, Siberian
Husky, Shih tzu).
