Final Examination in Practical Research 2
NAME:_____________________YR.and SECTION:_______________SCORE:_____
Test 1: Multiple Choice
Directions: Choose the correct answer that best correspond to the given question/statement.
1.Read the following research scenarios. Which among the following researchers demonstrated
the best conduct in creating a well-written review of related literature?
a. Joshua based his selection of literature from the recommendations of his research
professor only. He did not search for other related literature since there is no point in
searching since his teacher provided all that he needs.
b. Christine Joyce based her selection from the entire list of studies related to biotechnology.
She found the list on a biotechnology blog. She needs to review 95 studies because this
is what the writer told her to do so.
c. Jahna Mae chooses literature for her study based on how heavily researched the material
is. Since her topic is not heavily researched, there is very little related literature concerning
her study. She gathers as much relevant and related literature as possible to create a
logical framework.
d. Ronald based his selection of literature from a recommended list by research professors,
subject experts, and his father’s friends; but he never questioned why they gave the
recommended literature. He just reviewed them at best.
2. Which among the statements best describes the importance of synthesizing
information from selected reviewed literature?
a. I would look at the entire information landscape of knowledge and research experiences
built by other authors and, with this, I am able to pick the best literature to synthesize. This
also suggests that I can also copy the synthesis of the best literature related to my study.
b. I would be more informed of the placement of my study in the context of all the literature
related to it. It would also give me a general working knowledge of how other researchers
have seen the topic.
c. I, as a researcher, would want to improve my research-writing skills. Therefore, I will
synthesize literature as often as I can because that is what good researchers do and what
must be emulated by others.
d. I am good at selecting relevant literature; therefore, I am also good at synthesizing
information from other authors since this is the skill that I have built for myself.
3. Nicole is a consultant of a business process outsourcing company that wants to find
out whether implementing flextime has an effect on the employees’ work performance.
As such, flextime was implemented for the day shift employees, whereas the night shift
employees followed the existing work schedule. The study revealed that the work
performance of employees significantly increased after the implementation of flextime.
What type of research design did Rhea use?
a. quasi-experimental research design b. experimental research design
c. descriptive research design
d. correlational research design
4. A researcher needs to distinguish a type of sampling technique wherein an entire
population belonging to different subgroups have an equal chance to participate in the
study. Which among the following types best fits the situation?
a. simple random sampling
b. stratified random sampling
c. systematic random sampling
d. probability sampling

5. Vladimir is conducting a study on the different learning strategies of senior high school
students. He administered a survey and obtained a sample size of 250 students from a
population of 300 senior high school students in their school. Is the sample size
reasonable?
a. Yes, it is reasonable. It is recommended to have a sample size of at least 50
percent of the target population.
b. Yes, it is reasonable. Considering the number of the target population, John
obtained a sample size that is representative of the target population.
c. No, it is not reasonable. John must ensure that all students answer his survey.
d. No, it is not reasonable. According to the guidelines, 350 is the minimum number
of participants in a survey study.
6. How can interviews be converted to quantitative tools of data collection?
a. Interviews can be converted to quantitative tools of data collection by giving the
participants the freedom to respond to whatever they want.
b. Interviews cannot be considered as a quantitative tool.
c. Interviews can be converted to quantitative tools of data collection if they are
unstructured.
d. Interviews can be converted to quantitative tools of data collection by
transforming them into a categorical form like that of surveys.
7. Rensy is the CEO of a company, and he wants to know how the employees under the
sales department are performing. What type of data collection procedure is the most
appropriate to use?
a. quantitative observation
b. questionnaires
c. quantitative interviews
d. experiments
8. Written are different research hypotheses. Choose which of the statements is a null
hypothesis.
a. Parenting style is positively related to the decision-making of adolescents.
b. There is no significant difference between the attitudes toward poverty and
educational attainment.
c. Section A scores higher in the mental ability test than Section B do in terms of
curriculum intervention.
d. There is a relationship between sleep deprivation and a lack of focus in the
performance of senior high school students.
9. Which among the sentences best differentiates scope from delimitation?
a. The scope of the study refers to the concept of choosing the best studies and literature
for a specific field of interest, and the delimitation of the study is focused on the extraneous
variables that are not within the control of the researcher and must be redeveloped.
b. The scope of the study is the main highlight of the introduction since it encapsulates the
entire process of the study in a concise manner, and the delimitation of the study is
focused on the internal consistency of the results of the independent and dependent
variables of the study.
c. The scope of the study refers to the general extent of the area covered in the study
within a specific field of interest, and the delimitation of a study focuses on the boundaries
set by the researcher to make the study more feasible in terms of attaining its research
objectives.
d. The scope of the study helps researchers to understand the general extent of the main
goal of the research since it is included in the preliminary pages or the introduction of the

considered a good research title?
a. The Effects of Oriented Advertisements on the Self-Image and Concept among Senior
High School
b. E-sports and ADHD: An Experimental Research
c. Going Green, Going Clean: A Study on Recycling
