Activity 2: IS IT STRENGTH OR WEAKNESS?

Determine if the description given below is a strength or weakness of a quantitative

research. Write your answer on the blank provided for.

1. The most reliable and valid way of concluding results, giving

_____________ way to a new hypothesis or to disproving it.
_____________ 2. Since, there are more respondents compared to qualitative
research, the expenses will be greater in reaching out to
these people and in reproducing questionnaires
_____________ 3. If not done seriously and correctly, data from questionnaires
may be incomplete and inaccurate.
_____________ 4. Standardized approaches allow the study to be replicated in
different areas or over time with formulation of comparable
findings
_____________ 5. Quantitative experiments are useful for testing the results
gained by a series of qualitative experiments, leading to a
final answer, and narrowing down of possible directions to
follow.
_____________ 6. It is assumed that the larger the sample is, the more
statistically accurate the findings are.
_____________ 7. Researchers must be on the look-out on respondents who
