Best Answer

Quantitative observations have to do with things that can be precisely measured. You are being asked for a number.

Qualitative observations have more to do with characteristics of what is being observed.

The first is generally considered more precise and is generally preferred in 'hard' science.

Example:

Quantitative observation-

1) There are seven marbles on the table. They have a diameter of 1,5 centimeters.

Qualitative-

2) There are a bunch of marbles on the table. They are blue in color, round in shape, and smooth to the touch.
