A) Allowable cause of variation B) Assignable cause of variation C) Preventable cause of variation D) B and C Statistical Quality Control 111 / 120 111) In survey study, interviewer are liable to have mistaken and some of the ways the supervisor checks the quality of interviewing be: A) Observation of interview at work B) Review of completed questionnaire C) Double Entry D) A and B Research method and Sample Survey 112 / 120 112) One of the following is the main purpose of pilot survey: A) Check the organization and arrangement of the survey actually work satisfactorily. B) It checks the administrative and organizational arrangements of the supply and distribution of the response and equipment. C) It is used to identify weaknesses and problems with the survey D) All Research method and Sample Survey 113 / 120 113) _____ a questionnaire in where a pre-determined list of alternate responses is presented to the respondent for checking the appropriate one and the answers are restricting to limited ranges of response A) Closed ended questions B) Open ended Question C) Unstructured questions D) A and B Research method and Sample Survey 114 / 120 114) _ is a sampling method used when population is divided in to non-overlapping but exhaustive groups and elements in the same group should be more or less heterogeneous while homogeneous in different group. A) Simple random sampling B) cluster random sampling C) Stratified random sampling D) Judgment Sampling Research method and Sample Survey 115 / 120 115) Direction: Read the following two paragraphs carefully and answer the questions: The Ministry of Education aimed to study academic performance trends and job opportunities of graduated students from 1999 to 2013 E.C across Ethiopian universities graduated students. In the first stage, the study randomly selected 15 (10 from government and 5 from private) universities out of 80 (45 government and 35 private) universities. In the second stage, it randomly selected 10 departments from each university. Lastly, 300 former graduated students from each department were included in the survey and the data was collected from the samples. The study finding report was written using more detailed and complex statistical techniques for other researchers or project managers who are interested in the technical details of research design, sampling design, statistical method, and tables. Based on the above Paragraph under direction, what type of survey design and report did the Ministry of Education use to study the academic performance and job opportunities of graduated students? A) Multistage and popular report B) Single stage and Technical report C) Multistage and technical report D) None Research method and Sample Survey 116 / 120 116) Mr. A is a Guinness statistics professor; do you like to be his student and advisee?” In the above question, which type of question writing (phrasing) problem, do we find?
