TASK 2
P4 Carry out small-scale research by applying qualitative and quantitative research methods
This portion of this research project is talks out research methodology, which tells about
the way to carry out research effectively or prominently. In this, two major concept such as:
qualitative or quantitative research would be taken into the consideration to gather research data

mathematical tools. For this research, priority may be given to closed ended questions which will
be gather using survey or observation. In this method, chances of the false data is also high and
broken down of complete research is also expected.
Qualitative research: This is the vital method of research, in which high priority is being
given to data of quality and right status. In this, data is being collected by open ended question
and information through open ended question by taking complete interviews such as face to face,
telephonic, video calling, Email etc. (Bjurko, 2010). By this, right and supportive information is
expected to get and its impact is positive and based on outcomes.

Primary data: Primary data is data or information which is quantifiable in nature and
based on real numbers. These types of an information can be collected by application of defined
questionnaire to get people response onto the given topic or an information. For this research,
questionnaire will be made of total of 8 question and each question has its own purpose or value.

quality and has its own perfect values or ethical usage (Gebauer, 2016). Generally this kind of
information are gather by books, journals, magazines, newspaper etc. These sources are true
