the volume, mass, length, or the amount of an object
An example of a quantitative observation is measuring the temperature of a substance using a thermometer and finding it to be 25 degrees Celsius.
Heart rate is generally a quantitative measurement. You can give a specific number (quantity) for it. You could express heart rate as a qualitative measurement by simply using comparative phrases such as fast, faster, slow slower, dangerously high, dangerously low, etc. Often the quantitative measurement is mapped to the qualitative terms to give a quantitative range that can map to a qualitative term to express the impact of that type of heart rate.
An extension of the EEG technique, called quantitative EEG (qEEG), involves manipulating the EEG signals with a computer using the fast Fourier transform algorithm.
Quantitative, if you're counting the numbers of males and females for any survey or question. It is qualitive if you are using it in the context "Jim is a male." That doesn't tell you how many. Instead it tells you what.
With trigonometry by using the cosine rule
Quantitative means using actual numbers to show a change or amount, such as: "He has $14.90, and she has $12.56" Qualitative means showing amounts using relative terms, such as: "He has more money than her"
It could distract you and you could forget about what you just studied
Biology was a subject I studied a school.
This could describe a magnetic compass.
safety measures when using a computer
'have studied' or 'has studied' I have studied you have studied (singular) he, she or it has studied we have studied you have studied (plural) they have studied Some examples (using abbreviations) are: I've studied more than enough science. The trainees have really studied hard. She has studied just enough to pass the test.

The word "quantitative" is from the root word quantity. So, a quantitative observation is one that can be quantified or counted. Any time you count or physically measure something, it is a quantitative observation. Since it is your homework you should come up with your own examples :)
