Interval variables Its main objective is to identify whether the means of two groups are statistically different from each other (Trochim, 2006). In this case, the t-test must determine whether men are more likely to travel longer distances to go to the store than women are.

As one may observe, most respondents in this study are in the 35-49 and in the 50-64 age groups. The least respondents are in the 18-24%.
Ordinal variables
Frequency distribution
Dept results show that the clothing department is preferred by 25% of respondents, followed by the electronics department with 18%. Payment results reveal that 35% of customers prefer to pay with their credit cards, while 52% prefer to pay with cash. Regarding the prices in these stores, 26% have a somewhat negative opinion, 18% have a strongly negative opinion, while 42% have a neutral opinion.
Categorical variables
Frequency distribution
Gender: 63% of customers are female, and 37% are male.
Regular: 38% stated that they shop several times a week, and 35% said they shop once a week.
Reason1: 26% of respondents said they prefer these stores because of their promotional campaigns, and 38% said they have other reasons for shopping there.
Reason2: 32% said that an important reason for shopping there is represented by the prices, 18% selected the convenience reason, while 25% selected other reasons.
The results of the t-test reveal that although a small percentage of men is more likely to travel a longer distance to go to a store in comparison with women, the difference is not significant.
Another hypothesis proved with the use of the t-test is represented by the fact that regular customers have a neutral opinion on the prices of the products in these stores.

Good researchers tend to pull methods out of a tool kit as they are needed" (2006, p. 54). Notwithstanding these criticisms and constraints, though, most social researchers seem to agree that classification by some type of research paradigm is a useful approach based on the need to determine which approach is best suited for a given research enterprise. In this regard, Corby concludes that, "The contested nature of research

Overall, the questionnaire was a mixture of open-ended and closed questions, which provided basic data on the respondents and their practices, combined with more detailed information that
