1. What is research

4.Types of research-
Generally speaking, there are two types: primary and secondary. In primary research, the researcher gathers data herself directly from the source—for instance, she might go into a classroom and interview students and teachers. In secondary research, the researcher gathers data from the research that others have done. A literature review is an example of this type of research.
Primary research generally takes the form of either a case study or a statistical study. A case study focuses on an individual or a small group of individuals and records data on her or them over an extended period of time. Qualitative research is non-numerical. This type of research can be based on observations or statements of opinion, and data can come from such sources as interviews, journals, field notes, and diaries. Quantitative research is numerical. This type of research relies on data which can be reported in numbers. Numerical data can, for instance, be graphed.
5. What is hypothesis- Hypothesis is usually considered as the principal instrument in research. Its main function is to suggest new experiments and observations. It brings clarity, specificity and focus to a research problem.
According to Kerliner, ‘A hypothesis is a conjectural statement of the relationship between two or more variables’.
There are two types of hypothesis:

• 
  Null hypothesis: If researcher is compare method A with method B about its superiority and if researcher proceeds on the assumption that both methods are equally good, then this assumption is termed as the null hypothesis.
  

Alternative hypothesis: As against null hypothesis, researcher may think that the method A is superior or the method B is inferior, researcher are then stating what is termed as alternative hypothesis.
6.What should the Introduction of your Research Paper promise to your reader? introduce your topic and establish the purpose for your essay. If you intend to investigate a debated topic, state this in your introduction. You want the reader to have a good idea of what the essay is about and how it is constructed by reading your introduction. Save your opinions and any conclusions you've drawn for the rest of the essay.
Keep your introduction relatively short. For most papers, one or two paragraphs will suffice. For really long essays, you may need to expand this.
Don't assume your reader already knows the basics of the topic unless it truly is a matter of common knowledge. For example, you probably don't need to explain in your introduction what biology is, but you should define less general terms such as "eukaryote" or "polypeptide chain." INTRODUCTION
What question did you ask in your experiment? Why is it interesting? The introduction summarizes the relevant literature so that the reader will understand why you were interested in the question you asked. One to four paragraphs should be enough. End with a sentence explaining the specific question you asked in this experiment. introduction clearly announces the topic and suggests the approach that will be taken; on whether ideas are clear and understandable
