The elderly population is the fastest growing segment of the US population, making up approximately 14% and is expected to reach 20% by 2030. Treating elderly patients can be very complicated and risky in some cases, especially if they need assistance. Dentists treating these patients will have to be well informed of their Pre-existing medical conditions, be able to work with the array of medications that the majority of these patients take daily, and the greater frequency of oral diseases as compared
statistics concerned with using sample data to make an inference about a population of data is called inferential statistics. (Descriptive Statistics). Descriptive statistics consist of methods for organizing and summarizing information (Inferential Statistics). Inferential statistics consist of methods for drawing and measuring the reliability of conclusions about population based on information obtained from a sample of the population. Descriptive statistics includes the construction of graphs, charts
The Research Process and Methodology Student’s Name: Institutional Affiliation: The Research Process and Methodology The research process begins with the identification of the subject to be researched; this could be a problem that needs a solution, or a prediction that needs to be proven. After the identification of the subject, it is thoroughly reviewed and all the facts about the subject drafted. The next step is the formation of a hypothesis which acts as a guideline for the proposal. With the
THREE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research Design Research methodology depicts the steps processed followed or undertaken by a researcher carrying out research work. Donald’s (2004) defined research methodology as the specification of procedure for collecting and analysing the problems at hand such that the difference between the cost of obtaining various level of accuracy and expected value of the information associated with each level of accuracy is maximized. The general overviews of the research will
strategy was used and findings were generalized to the particular context. The findings discussed in this thesis were mainly focused on primary data. Since there was no research conducted in service quality and its impact on customer’s satisfaction in Ethiopian airline domestic flight specifically in Mekelle area Therefore to assess the research gap this study mainly depended on the primary data found from the distributed questioners. Though, some written documents, annual reports, brochures and magazines
of this research was interpretivism; where the researcher gave importance to the beliefs and values to give justification of the research problem (Saunders, Lewis, & Thornhill, 2009). With the help of this philosophy, the researcher focused to highlight the real facts and figures according to the problem in hand. In this research approach the researcher used small sample from the population and evaluate them in detail to understand the view of the sample as representative of large population (Saunders
significant role. It can be used also to encourage dialogue; In addition to that social media can serve as a complementary channel of information for impact evaluation. When it comes to Ethiopia, a country with more than 90 million populations, a significant number of its population are currently using Digital Medias in everyday life. These Digital Medias expected to have its Owen effect on conflict management in Ethiopia but the specific importance and the nature of the digital media to conflict management
Quantitative research generates numeric data or data that can be transformed into usable statistics by quantifying the problem. This research quantifies attitudes, opinions, and behaviors, and other defined variables also generalize results from a larger sample population. Measurable data given in quantitative research are used to formulate facts and uncover patterns in research. In this research, compared to qualitative research is more structured. Quantitative research methods includes surveys
part of a population for the purpose of determining the characteristics of the whole population. In other words, the process of selecting a sample from a population using special sampling techniques called sampling. It should be ensured in the sampling process itself that the sample selected is representative of the population. Steps in Sampling Process An operational sampling process can be divided into seven steps as given below: Defining the Target Population: Defining the population of interest
3.2 Sampling Method 3.2.1 Target Population The population is the name for the large general group of many cases from which researcher draws a sample which is usually stated in theoretical terms. While the target population is the name for the large general group of many cases from which a sample is drawn and which is specified in very concrete terms (W.Lawrence Neuman, 2008). Therefore, the target population of this research study will target the university’s students which are male and female who
