Answer:1

Paul Bruney is the research director and he is planning for the research for the project for the NMNB analysis and investigation for the current uses of NMNB services by the consumers in the nation. If I were be the Paul, and then I will plan the research as below

Define the population of interest for the study: The population of the interest for the research will be defined as below

List of sample consumers who are using the NMNB cards on a large scale, on smaller scale and on an average scale. This will help us to provide the sample as a true representation of the target regional population.

List of relatives of the sample consumers selected in the above so that we can understand the pattern of relatives of the sample consumers with the key person in the family.

We would like to review the earnings of the sample list of consumers so that we can interpret the relation between the earnings and usage of the cards by the consumers.

List of sample consumers needs to have the diverse representation of people like male and female, younger and older age.

The list of sample consumers needs to have representation from different regions of the nation like major cities, minor cities, towns, villages etc.

We would like to ensure that the list of sample consumers selected for the study is the true representation of the population for the study so that we can get the better results from the research study.
