STA630 GDB Solution
1- Pre-test- Post test control g roup design
2- Post-test-Only control g roup design
3- Solomon 4- G roup design.
True Experimental Design
1. Pre-test, post-test control g roup design is a true experimental design which involves at least 2 randomly formed g roups; g roups are pre-tested, one ***** receives a new or unusual treatment, and both g roups are post-tested.
2. Post-tested only control g roup design is a true experimental design involving at least 2 randomly formed g roups; one g roup receives a new, or unusual, treatment and both g roups are post-tested.
Solomon 4-g roup design is a true experimental design that involves random assignments of subjects to 1 or 4 g roups; 2 g roups are pre-tested, 2 are not; one of the pre-tested g roups and one experimental treatment and all 4 g roups are post-tested.
Quasi-Experimental Designs
1) Non-equivalent control g roup design
2) Time serves design
3) Counter-balanced design
Quasi-Experimental Design
1. Non equivalent control g roup design is a quassi-experimental design involving at lest 2 g roups, both of which are pre-tested; one g roup receives the experimental treatment, and both g roups are post tested.
2. Time series design is a quasi-experimental design involving 1 g roup which is repeatedly pre-tested, exposed to an experimental treatment and repeatedly post tested.
3. Counter-balanced design is a quasi-experimental design in which all g roups receive all treatments, each g roup receives the treatments in a different order, the number of g roups equals the number of treatments, and all g roups are post tested after each treatment.

STA630 Assignment # 2 Solution
1. Which sampling technique is appropriate in this particular research? Explain your answer.
Solution:
This case study shows that the research is base on the historical data but its main focus on the behavior of the people such as attitudes, beliefs and sentiments all of these shows that in this research onle "Qualitative method" is suitable for research because of many reasons such as:
According to the Max Weber Qualitative approach is the behavioral sciences.

By using this technique getting people to talk through in their own words how they see a particular idea.
Qualitative researchers aim to gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior and the reasons that govern such behavior.
it based on the specific area that is PUNJAB
2. Suggest the appropriate data collection tool that can be used by the research organization. Give the solid rationale for your answer.
Solution:
In this research the data collection tools is used:
Using available information tool
Observation
As we know that the research is based on the larger scale and based on the previous data so for such type of research we can use the Available information that has already been collected by others.
OBSERVATION is a technique that involves systematically selecting, watching and recording behavior You can also use this tool but as we know that this method is based on the small scale so it become very difficult to conduct observation of each individual so according to my point of view the available information is perfect

Maturation effect
In the scenarion above , the length of time was too much according to some employees .And 3 employees left the training due to the fact that they were getting bored from training programme..Thats why this threat to internal validity exist in scenario.
Testing effect
This effect also exist in this scenario ,As the questions asked in pretest influence the performance of employees adversely.
Instrumentation effect
This is another threat to internal validity which exist in this scenario.The question asked in pretest were quite easy than the questions asked in posttest.Which influence the result of training program adversely.
Mortality
Mortality effect of threat to the internal validity exist I this scenari , as some of the employees left organization during programme .Which contaminate the programme because leaving of some members hinder the training process and make it difficult to intreprete the exact result.Following threats to internal validity does not exist in the scenario above.
Selection bias effect
This is the threat which exist due to non random selection of subjects for 2 comparison groups.Whereas in scenario above members of 2 groups were selected randomly.So, there was no selection differentiation in scenario.
