What is the correct sequence of Scientific Research ? Answer by using the codes given below :
(i) Formulation of Hypothesis
(ii) Selection of Problem
(iii) Generalization
(iv) Collection and Analysis of data
Codes :
Answer: B
The correct sequence is selection of the problem (ii), formulation of a hypothesis (i), collection and analysis of data (iv) and generalisation (iii). Scientific research begins by identifying a problem, then proposes a testable explanation, gathers and analyses evidence and finally draws general conclusions.
The first option starts with the hypothesis before a problem has been chosen. The third option begins with data collection, before the problem and hypothesis. The fourth option analyses data before the hypothesis is formed, which reverses the logic of testing.
