Study Notes
Understanding Fundamental Operations
- Understanding fractions, decimals, and percentages is essential for various mathematical applications.
- Key operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division across all three concepts.
Operations on Fractions
- Addition of fractions requires a common denominator for accurate computation.
- Subtraction follows the same principle as addition in finding a common denominator.
- Multiplication of fractions involves multiplying numerators and denominators directly.
- Division of fractions is performed by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second.
Operations on Decimals
- Addition and subtraction of decimals require aligning decimal points for accurate calculations.
- Multiplication of decimals involves multiplying as whole numbers, then placing the decimal point based on the total digits in both factors.
- Division of decimals may require moving the decimal point in the divisor to make it a whole number, and similarly adjust the dividend.
Working with Percentages
- Percentages represent a fraction out of 100 and can be converted from both fractions and decimals.
- To find a percentage, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100.
- Percent increases and decreases are calculated by determining the difference and dividing it by the original amount, then multiplying by 100.
Application in Business Context
- Understanding these operations allows for solving real-world problems involving profit margins, discounts, and financial calculations.
- Accurate manipulation of fractions, decimals, and percentages is vital in fields such as accounting and finance.
Kinds of Quantitative Research
- Quantitative research can be categorized into several designs: descriptive, correlational, ex post facto, quasi-experimental, and experimental.
Descriptive Design
- Focuses solely on describing a phenomenon as it occurs, without experimental manipulation or predefined hypotheses.
- Aims to provide an understanding of the subject's characteristics.
- Example: Assessing the frequency of different physical activities among high school students during the quarantine period.
Correlational Design
- Examines the relationship between two or more variables without indicating causation.
- Data collection is done through observation.
- Example: Analyzing the connection between the frequency of physical activity and academic achievement among students.
Ex Post Facto Design
- Investigates relationships between past events and current conditions, examining potential causes of existing phenomena.
- "Ex post facto" translates to "after the fact," focusing on hindsight analysis without experimental manipulation.
- Example: Exploring how parents' academic achievements influence their children's obesity rates.
Quasi-Experimental Design
- Used to identify cause-and-effect relationships between variables but lacks a full experimental approach due to absence of random assignment.
- Independent variables are identified but not manipulated; pre-existing groups are used for comparison.
- Example: Studying the impact of unemployment on attitudes towards safety protocols during Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in certain areas.
Experimental Design
- Aims to establish cause-and-effect relationships through rigorous methods, including random assignment of subjects and experimental manipulation of variables.
- Provides stronger validity and conclusive results compared to quasi-experimental designs.
- Example: Comparing the effects of different blended learning methods on elementary students' reading comprehension.
