statistical
This depends on what you are observing, but since number and amount are both measurements of quantity, they are somewhat interchangeable. Observations usually deal with both, because an observation is the action of observing something to collect information, and most information has to be quantified in order to be useful. And when quantifying something, a number or an amount has to be used.
He would have collected 8/T gallons from each tree where T is the undisclosed number of trees.
A great number of people have a problem with this, which causes quite an amount of trouble. Number refers to something that can be counted. Amount refers to an unknown quantity or something that cannot be quantified, like feelings, intentions, impressions, etc.
When multiplying/dividing measurements the answers needs to have the same amound significant figures as the one with the LEAST amount

massWell, there are two measurements that I will give you because I am unsure of the question. Density is the number of particles in a material chunk. This doesn't change unless the form of the matter changes (like cooling or heating). Volume is the amount had at the moment. This changes.
The number system is a way of labeling an amount of something.

The answer depends on whether the measurements were to the nearest whole number or the nearest ten (or something else.
the maximum amount.
"Amount" means how much of something. It could be referring to mass, weight, volume, or number.
the making of a judgment about the amount, number, or value of something; assessment.
Quantity means the amount of something (number, weight, or volume).
