Post an analysis of the relationship between your personal research philosophy and quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Your analysis should include the following:
- Identify the key concepts, propositions, precepts, etc., of your personal research philosophy, including any rationale for your choice.
- Analyze the relationship between your research philosophy and the chosen research methodology for your Doctoral Study.
- Analyze how the choice of methodology can impact a Doctoral Study, as well as influence later research decisions and results.
Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and at least one additional scholarly source.
To prepare for this Discussion, review Chapters 4 and 5 in Saunders, Lewis, and Thornhill (2015), and consider how the different research philosophies can influence choice in research methodologies, as well as how these choices can impact a doctoral research study.
Question
Florida condominiums are popular winter retreats for many North Americans. In recent years the price has steadily increased. A real estate agent wanted to know why prices of similar size apartments in the same building vary. A possible answer lies in the floor. It may be that the higher the floor, the greater the sale price of the apartment. He recorded the price (in $1000’s) of 1200 sq. ft. condominiums in several buildings in the same location that have sold recently and the floor number of the condominium.
Floor (x) Price (y) 22 212 20 225 16 261 4 184 18 232 18 222 21 210 13 201 14 189 8 200 4 203 2 196 16 220 13 245 12 211 8 216 21 256 7 173 8 194 8 196 23 182 21 230 10 216 9 188 15 210 1 216 27 218 8 169 27 235 8 227 10 191 1 203 27 223 14 206 28 204 4 190 28 246 8 168 10 193 12 186 7 193 27 224 21 231 6 183 21 224 9 212 12 232 7 193 18 233 12 249
A) Determine the regression line.
B) What do the coefficients tell you about the relationship between the two variables?
