- Statement I: Quantitative research lays emphasis on the generalisability of findings.
- Statement II: Probability sampling does not generate a representative sample.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false — Statement I is true and Statement II is false, so the answer is Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Explanation
★Statement I is true and Statement II is false, so the answer is Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
★Quantitative research uses measurement and statistics to test hypotheses.
★It aims for findings that can be generalized to a wider population, so statement I is true.
★Probability sampling selects units using chance from the whole population.
★This is designed precisely to give a representative sample.
★So the claim that it does not generate a representative sample is false, making statement II false.
★Therefore statement I is true while statement II is false.
