2
What best describes the importance of including confidence intervals with research results?

17
What does exploratory sequential mean in mixed methods research
Quantitative research is first then informs the qualitative
Only qualitative data is collected
Qualitative first and then an assessment to see if quantitative is needed
Qualitative research is first and then informs the quantitative data
18
What does data saturation mean in qualitative research

The findings from qualitative research are not usually generalisable
The findings from qualitative research are not methodologically robust
The findings from qualitative research generally lack rigour
21
