Assertion (A) : Quantitative researchers prefer probability sampling method.
Reason (R) : So that they can use non-parametric tests.
Select your answer from the codes given below :
Answer: B
The key is Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The Assertion is true: quantitative researchers prefer probability sampling because every unit has a known chance of selection, so the results can be generalised to the population with a measurable margin of error. The Reason is true only in the weak sense that non-parametric tests can be used on a probability sample. It is not why the method is preferred. The preference comes from representativeness and the ability to make statistical inferences.
Option A would make the tests the explanation, which is not so. Option C and option D treat the Reason or the Assertion as false.
What could not be confirmed: whether the Reason is best called true or false. The answer follows the University's key.
