Question 3 (Maximum Marks 5) Read the Paragraph written below and identify the following: 1. Research design 2. Study population 3. Sample size 4. Sampling Technique 5. Country of the study 6. Data collection Method "In our study, we propose to measure the entrepreneurial intention of undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) university students using opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial self-efficacy as independent variables moderated by entrepreneurship education and gender. Convenience sampling technique was used to collect the cross-sectional data (Anwar and Saleem, 2019a; Fayolle and Gailly, 2005, Li-nan and Chen, 2009; Krueger et al., 2000). A total of 520 questionnaires were distributed among UG and PG students from one of India's oldest and top-rated centrally funded universities, i.e. Aligarh Muslim University. The target population was UG and PG business students of Aligarh Muslim University receiving business and entrepreneurship education. Out of these, 330 questionnaires were distributed among UG students enrolled in Bachelor of Commerce, and 190 questionnaires were distributed among PG students enrolled in MBA course. The rationale for selecting university students receiving business and entrepreneurship education was to check the effect of entrepreneurial education they are receiving on their opportunity recognition capability and belief to achieve something, as education acts as a key antecedent in achieving the entrepreneurial goals (Puni et al., 2018, Adekiya and Ibrahim, 2016; Pedrini et al., 2017; Keuttima et al., 2014). We confined our sample to only one Indian university because of the difference in the entrepreneurship course syllabi among universities (Jones and Matlay, 2011). Out to the total 520 questionnaires distributed to students, 368 questionnaires were completed and received back. Out of these 368 questionnaires, 19 questionnaires with incomplete responses and 15 questionnaires filled without being engaged were found inadequate for the study, therefore, they were removed during the data screening process. The final sample size of 334 (164 male and 170 female) was selected for the study (mean age 5 19.63 years) which is suitable enough to represent the population above 2000 (Krejcie and Morgan, 1970) as the number of students in AMU receiving entrepreneurial education is about 1,500
