An advantage of conducting an interview via Skype rather than face-to-face is that:

  1. it saves time and money as no travelling is involved.

  2. informants have more time to give detailed, considered responses.

  3. there is no need to transcribe the data

  4. all of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There are numerous advantages (as well as disadvantages) to conducting an interview online rather than face-to-face. These include practical factors such as the lower cost and greater convenience of conversing electronically, the opportunity it gives respondents to compose careful answers that say exactly what they want to say, and the elimination of transcription error.

Which of the following is a practical problem associated with asynchronous focus groups?

  1. It is difficult to send out a welcome message to participants this way.

  2. Moderators cannot be available online 24 hours a day.

  3. Not all participants will have access to the required conferencing software.

  4. Participants do not have enough time to write detailed responses.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Online focus groups can be conducted either synchronously or asynchronously. In the former case, the researcher can use conferencing software to help participants converse in real time, although this can be problematic if some participants do not have access to the software. (A possible modern remedy for this might be instant messaging services.) Asynchronous focus groups can be conducted via an email distribution list, allowing people more time to compose their responses. However, a problem with this is that the moderator cannot be available online whenever someone is writing a message, and so it can be harder to keep the discussion on track and check the content of messages before they are posted.

Why is it argued that samples recruited online are not representative of the general population

  1. Because Internet users are most likely to be young and middle class.

  2. Because women are less likely than men to volunteer for online social research.

  3. Because online researchers only use random probability sampling methods.

  4. None of the below.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

While the Internet can be an extremely useful resource for recruiting research participants, the samples that result are likely to be biased towards certain social groups. This is because Internet users tend to be disproportionately young, middle class, and wealthier and so these characteristics will be over-represented in the sample as compared to the general population.

The two ways of distributing on-line surveys are:

  1. Face-to-face or by post

  2. Professionally and quietly

  3. By email and via the World Wide Web

  4. Quantitatively and qualitatively


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Computer-mediated communication provides some great opportunities for distributing a social survey to a relatively large sample of respondents. The researcher can either send their questionnaires out via email, provide a web-link in an e-mail, or they can present the survey on a website, where people are invited to complete it online.

Which of the following is not a problem associated with using websites as sources of data?

  1. New websites are constantly appearing while others are disappearing.

  2. It is difficult to find any websites about most topics in business research.

  3. The sample of websites is only as good as the keywords used to search for them.

  4. The 'webspeak' is complex.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Internet can be used as a valuable source of quantitative and qualitative data, but there are limitations to this technique of data collection. The researcher's sample of websites will depend on the keywords they used to search for them, and of course websites are prone to being revised, updated and even removed over time. However, there are plenty of websites out there in cyberspace!

What is the main advantage of an attached email questionnaire over an online social survey?

  1. It retains more of the original formatting and so tends to look more attractive.

  2. Recipients will be reassured that the message does not contain a virus.

  3. It requires less expertise for the respondent to open and reply to it.

  4. It is easier to code the answers from this type of questionnaire.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Online surveys can be sent via email, either embedded in the body of the message or as a separate attachment. The advantage of the latter is that it allows the researcher to use more embellishments and formatting to make the survey look attractive, which in turn may improve the response rate. However, some people may have technical difficulties in opening the attachment, or they may be too worried about computer viruses to risk doing so.

What is the advantage of using Internet surveys to supplement traditional postal questionnaires?

  1. Postal questionnaires generally produce a higher response rate.

  2. It makes all of the data more directly comparable.

  3. Online social surveys generally produce a higher response rate.

  4. It boosts response rates by allowing people to respond in the way that is most convenient for them.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There is a growing tendency for researchers to administer questionnaires through more than one medium. Thus they might send out a printed copy of the questionnaire by post to everyone in the sample, but explain in the covering letter that the survey can also be found online, for example at a web site. This allows recipients of the letter to choose whether to respond by post or online, and so it has the potential to improve the study's response rate. Meanwhile, there is growing evidence that using online questionnaires alone produces a lower response rate than postal surveys. It seems that Internet users have become quite sophisticated in their attitudes to unsolicited emails. Spam filters and security software may inadvertently trash some messages, particularly those with attachments.

  3. a collection of two or more connected computers sharing only system resources in a relatively small geographic location, often in the same building

  4. a collection of two or more connected computers sharing file storage space only in a relatively small geographic location, often in the same building


Correct Option: A

 HTML and XML are markup languages 

  1. Specially development for the web

  2. Are based on SGML

  3. Are versions of SGML

  4. Independent of SGML


Correct Option: B

 In order to interpret XML documents one should

  1. Use standardized tags

  2. Have a document type definition which defines the tags

  3. Define the tags separately

  4. Specify tag filename


Correct Option: B

The packets of an internet message

  1. take a predetermined path

  2. take a path based on packet priority

  3. go along different paths based on path availability

  4. take the shortest path from source to destination


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

All data transfers across the Internet work on this principle. It helps networks manage traffic -- if one pathway becomes clogged with traffic, packets can go through a different route. This is different from the traditional phone system, which creates a dedicated circuit through a series of switches. All information through the old analog phone system would pass back and forth between a dedicated connection. If something happened to that connection, the call would end.

That's not the case with traffic across IP networks. If one connection should fail, data can travel across an alternate route. This works for individual networks and the Internet as a whole. For instance, even if a packet doesn't make it to the destination, the machine receiving the data can determine which packet is missing by referencing the other packets. It can send a message to the machine sending the data to send it again, creating redundancy. This all happens in the span of just a few milliseconds.

A wide area network is 

  1. a collection of two or more connected computers sharing certain resources in a relatively small geographic location, often in the same building

  2. a collection of two or more LANs sharing certain resources in a relatively small geographic location, often in the same building

  3. a collection of two or more LANs sharing certain resources in a relatively large geographic location, often in the same building

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A WAN consists of two or more LANs. The computers are farther apart and are linked by telephone lines or radio waves. Eg: Internet

Internet data is broken up as 

  1. fixed length packets

  2. variable length packets

  3. not packetized

  4. 64 bytes packets


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Information transmitted through internet is broken down in terms of small units of data called packets and are routed through a network based on the destination address contained within each packet. Breaking communication down into packets allows the same data path to be shared among many users in the network. This type of communication between sender and receiver is known as connectionless (rather than dedicated). Most traffic over the Internet uses packet switching and the Internet is basically a connectionless network.

T.V. Transmission requires _________ waves,which are not bounced by Ionosphere.

  1. low-frequency RF

  2. low-frequency carrier

  3. high-frequency carrier

  4. low-frequency audio


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

As the transmission of television is done through satellite's . So, the carrier waves should be of high frequency , so , the carrier waves should be of high frequency , so that they may clear the Ionosphere and provide a smooth transmission  between a satellite and television set
