Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Revised on October 10, 2022. Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation or phenomenon. It can answer what, where, when and how questions, but not why questions. A descriptive research design can use a wide variety of research methods to investigate one or more variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -Common descriptive research questions will begin with “How much?”, “How regularly?”, “What percentage?”, “What time?”, “What is?” Primarily, a descriptive research question will be used to quantify a single variable, but there’s nothing stopping you covering multiple variables within a single question.

Detailed explanation-3: -Descriptive studies can be of several types, namely, case reports, case series, cross-sectional studies, and ecological studies. In the first three of these, data are collected on individuals, whereas the last one uses aggregated data for groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -Choose your starting phrase. Identify and name the dependent variable. Identify the group(s) you are interested in. Decide whether the dependent variable or group(s) should be included first, last or in two parts. Include any words that provide greater context to your question. More items
