The main difference between qualitative and quantitative research/observations are the purposes of the observations. Qualitative research uses a small number of cases to determine the underlying reasons and motivations of an action. Quantitative research uses a large number of cases to create a generalized result.
Affirmative Action
Affirmative action is a way of giving an advantage to underrepresented groups in competitive areas such as employment or education. The concept is used worldwide.
Quantitative means numbers and things that are measurable. Qualitative is stuff that can't be measured, like feelings or consequences, or assumptions/opinions. A student's report included a section about qualitative pollutants he observed in a local park. The pod was covered in a thick coat of green algae, as if the water became a giant emerald jewel. Heaps of litter were strewn along the banks; remnants of camp fires made black circles against the sandy soil. He argued that the conditions decreased the area's attractiveness to families. Another student used a science kit to get measurements of the data. He collected water samples that showed the pond had very poor oxygenation. He sorted the trash, finding that 75% were bottles and cans which do not decompose. He found remnants of plastics that were burnt in half of the 20 camp fire sites. He tested the blackened soil and unaffected soil and noted that the blackened soil had lost 80% of its microorganisms needed for plant life. He argued that human action was changing a favorite picnic site into a small garbage dump, as proven through his quantitative assessments.
The role of mathematics in Business decisions has very important in the process of mangerial decision models and alorithms. To turn to the specific aspects of te quantitative decision making process, it is possible to recognize three distinct phases in every decision situation. First is carefully defined the problem, second is a conceptual model to be generated and third is the selection of the appropriate quantitative model thay may lead to a solution. lastly a specific alogorithm is selected . An alorithms are the ordely delineated sequnces of mathematical operations that lead to a solution. The alorithms generate the decision which is subsequently implemented managerial action program. The entire process is shown below: Defined problem------>Conceptual model--->Quntitative Model---->Algorithms---->decision----Action programs LE
