∙ 13y agoWhen you start to think about your research methodology, you need to think about the differences between qualitative and quantitative research.
Qualitative research explores attitudes, behaviour and experiences through such methods as interviews or focus groups. It attempts to get an in-depth opinion from participants. As it is attitudes, behaviour and experiences which are important, fewer people take part in the research, but the contact with these people tends to last a lot longer. Under the umbrella of qualitative research there are many different methodologies.
Quantitative research generates statistics through the use of large-scale survey research, using methods such as questionnaires or structured interviews. If a market researcher has stopped you on the streets, or you have filled in a questionnaire which has arrived through the post, this falls under the umbrella of quantitative research. This type of research reaches many more people, but the contact with those people is much quicker than it is in qualitative research.

The waterfall babbles is qualitative observation or quantitative observation
The difference between quantitative and qualitative observation is that a quantitative observation deals with numbers and qualitative observation deals with your sense's on like how something looks or the color that it has.

EXAMPLE: Painting Qualitative: Blue Paint, Gold Frame, Smells Musty, Texture Shows Oils were Used, Scene of boats on a river Quantitative: Cost is $300, Weighs 8.9 lbs, Painting is 10" by 14", Frame is 14" by 18", Surface Area is 140 Sq. In. (Qualitative deals with descriptions and can be observed but not measured. Quality. Quantitative deals with numbers and can be measured. Quantity.)
quantitative and qualitative
This answer is completely impossible , it's a proven fact by all scientist ! /: & i absolutley L.O.V.E when you text guys & they , respond with smiley faces & hearts . (: <33
Qualitative and quantitative data are both 2 important types of data. Qualitative data is data based on observation and description. An easy way to remember this, Qualitative ---> QUALity. Examples of qualitative data are when you record colors, smells, textures, etc... Quantitative data is based on numerical values. An easy way to remember this, Quantitative ---> QUANTity. An example of quantitative data are any type of numerical values.
A qualitative or subjective observation is an observation which uses evidence gathered from one of the five senses i.e. color, texture, taste, etc as opposed to a quantitative or objective observation which describes something using numbers.Examples of qualitative observations:"The coat is green.""The dog is soft.""The coffee is bitter."Examples of quantitative observations:"There are 4 computers in the classroom.""There are 7 cookies in the jar.""There are 5 stripes on her dress."
Question: What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative observations and methods and what are some examples of each? Answer: From Wikipedia for QUALITATIVE Qualitative research is one of the two major approaches to research methodology in social sciences. Qualitative research involves an indepth understanding of human behaviour and the reasons that govern human behaviour. Unlike quantitative research, qualitative research relies on reasons behind various aspects of behaviour. Simply put, it investigates the why and how of decision making, as compared to what, where, and when of quantitative research. Hence, the need is for smaller but focused samples rather than large random samples, which qualitative research categorizes data into patterns as the primary basis for organizing and reporting results. From Wikipedia for QUANTITATIVE Quantitative research is the systematic scientific investigation of quantitative properties and phenomena and their relationships. Quantitative research is widely used in both the natural and social sciences, from physics and biology to sociology and journalism. It is also used as a way to research different aspects of education. The objective of quantitative research is to develop and employ mathematical models, theories and hypotheses pertaining to natural phenomena. The process of measurement is central to quantitative research because it provides the fundamental connection between empirical observation and mathematical expression of quantitative relationships. The term quantitative research is most often used in the social sciences in contrast to qualitative research. Examples of qualitative statements/observations: The freezing point of water is colder than the boiling point. The sun is very bright. A liter of water is heavier than a liter of ethanol. Examples of quantitative statements/observations: The freezing point of water is 0 °C and the boiling point is 100 °C. The sun's intensity on earth is 100 W m-2. A liter of water weighs 1000 grams and a liter of ethanol weighs 789 grams. Above retrieved from Answers.com

Quantitative data is measurable and numerical in nature. In contrast, qualitative data is any data that is not numerical and cannot be measured, only observed. Examples of quantitative data include age, height, year, and population. Examples of qualitative data include color, gender, country, and city.
give at least 5 examples of qualitative observation
