What tools or devices will I use to make or record observations? How will I choose the sample?
What degree of accuracy or level of confidence can I guarantee? DATA ANALYSIS
What combinations of analytical and statistical process will be applied to the data? Which of these will allow me to accept or reject my hypotheses?

Was my initial hypothesis supported or rejected? Why?
What are the implications of my findings for the theory base, for the background assumptions, or relevant literature?
