Name the analysis that would be conducted to respond to the research questions listed below. Second, explain how you know that is the correct analysis. ( you have to choose if the information that is shown here that fits this requirement: Qualitative research method, quantitative research)
What are possible differences in frequencies between males and females who were in the top 50% versus bottom 50% of their graduating class in high school?

1.What are possible differences in frequencies between males and females who were in the top 50% versus bottom 50% of their graduating class in high school?
Analysis: qualitative research
How you know:Qualitative research uses non-statistical methods. For example, you might perform a study and find that difference in frequency of top 50% verses bottom 50% graduates students in high school . The quantity (50%) makes it quantitative research. A follow up qualitative study could interview a small percentage of those students to find out why. The answers are free-form and don’t have numbers associated with them, so that makes them qualitative.
2.What are possible differences between GPA of graduate students at a large public research university and the mean GPA (μ=3.25) advertised on this university’s website?
Analysis:Quantitative research
How do you know:Quantitative research designs are either descriptive or experimental. Descriptive designs are where you measure an association between two variables (independent and dependent variables). Sample sizes are typically large. For example, you might survey thousands of local students. Whichwe are doing here. Which Sub are usually only measured once. In an experimental design, subjects are usually measured both before and after a treatment and you’re looking for causality. Sample sizes tend to be small.
