Used properly,… research will provide rich quality information that will help ….reduce a research project’s levels of..
2. What is a research hypothesis? Do all researches require hypotheses formulation? Explain.
Ans : A hypothesis is a specific statement of prediction…explore some areas more thoroughly in order to develop some specific … tested in future research. A single study may have one or more…
… It might ask what … is happening… For example.. Many people would think that instinct and intuition… scientific leaps were a result of …..
This might be a question , a statement or an example… Some examples could be : ….. Affects the stocks of cod. …

4. A social organization claiming to be promoters of sex education sought the views of parents from the three Indian states of Punjab, Bihar and Gujarat on introducing sex education at the school level. The views of 80 parents selected at random from each of the three states were found as under:
| Punjab | Bihar | Gujarat | |
| In favour | 50 | 20 | 45 |
| Against | 30 | 60 | 35 |
Do the sample data provide enough evidence to support the view that the proportion of parents in favour of introducing sex education in schools is the same in all the three states? Use α = 0.01.
