1. What is research

7.What is the structure of Research paper? Once the research question is clearly defined, writing the paper becomes considerably easier. The paper will ask the question, then answer it. The key to successful scientific writing is getting the structure of the paper right. The basic structure of a typical research paper is the sequence of Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (sometimes abbreviated as IMRAD). Each section addresses a different objective.
The authors state: (i) the problem they intend to address—in other terms, the research question—in the Introduction; (ii) what they did to answer the question in the Methods section; (iii) what they observed in the Results section; and (iv) what they think the results mean in the Discussion.
8.Types of hypotheses- 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.
The null hypothesis is generally symbolized as H0 and the alternative hypothesis as:
Statisticians have developed several tests of hypotheses (also known as the tests of significance) forthe purpose of testing of hypotheses which can be classified as: (a) Parametric tests or standard tests ofhypotheses; and (b) Non-parametric tests or distribution-free test of hypotheses. Parametric tests usually assume certain properties of the parent population from which we draw samples.
9.Steps of research writing- It consists of a series of steps or actions that are necessary to execute a research in effective way. The steps in a research process are as follows:
• Define Research Problem
• Initial Literature Review
• Setting and Fixing Hypothesis
• Research Design
• Collection of Data
• Analysis of Collected Data
• Interpretation and Report Finding
