4
What does the mean represent in a set of data?
The middle value when the data is arranged in ascending order
The average value of all the data points

5
Which of the following is a characteristic of a quantitative research design?
Utilizes statistical analysis to interpret data

Focuses on understanding the meaning of experiences
6
Which of the following is true about conceptual frameworks?
They provide a visual representation of the research design.
They are only used in qualitative research.
They organize and define the key concepts of a study.
They are developed based on empirical evidence.
7
What is the primary benefit of using a theoretical framework in research?
Provides a basis for comparing the study findings to literature.
It ensures that the research findings are statistically significant.
