distinguish between qualitative and quantitative model
Quantitative means it can be measured. Qualitative is something that is subjective meaning there is no way to really measure it. Example: Quantitative: 2=2=4 This is always true. Qualitative: Puppies are cute. (this is only an opinion. No facts)
Quantitative is based on measurements and numbers :)
Qualitative predictions are predictions based on quality. How effective is the product, or program expected to be? Quantitative predictions are based on quantities, in other words, numbers. How many people, products or units are expected.
Qualitative observation is subjective. Quantitative observation is the result of controlled testing procedures with prescribed procedures in place. Quantitative testing is sometimes called empirical testing.
