What is the most important thing you should report in the conclusions section of your research report? Give an example.

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The most important thing to explain in the conclusions section of your report is a summary of the findings of your study with regard to the essential research question being pursued. For example, suppose you had the hypothesis that males will have a greater number of no-shows than females and your data supported this hypothesis. The most important thing you would report would be the fact that you found that males were more likely than females to fail to show up for appointments. If your data had failed to support this hypothesis, you would report that you had failed to find a difference between males and females in regard to failure to show up for appointments.
