4 DEC FS Q.4
- Option : D
- Explanation : Empirico-inductive research is quantitative. Inductive approach starts with observations which are searched for any pattern existing within. It aims to generate meaning/ explanation from the data set collected by direct/indirect observation or experience, and identify patterns and relationships (premises) existing amidst them to inductively construct a theory. Its conclusions are strictly drawn from concretely empirical evidence, which is verifiable, and they are generalisable. Generalization is an act of reasoning that involves drawing broad inferences from particular observations and is widely-acknowledged as a quality standard in quantitative research. So, the sampling procedure appropriate for this kind of research will be any non-probability technique.
