What measures the strength of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables?

The strength of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables is measured by the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient, denoted by "r," ranges from -1 to 1. A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship, -1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship, and 0 indicates no linear relationship. The closer the absolute value of the correlation coefficient is to 1, the stronger the linear relationship between the variables.

What is quantitative variable?

Quantitative comes from the word "quantity" meaning an exact amount. A quantitative variable, or answer, is one where an exact numerical value is expected, such as, Liz has 4 dogs. 4 is the quantitative value. Contrast this with qualitative, where an amount is given but without exact numbers. i.e. Liz has MORE dogs than Sue. * * * * * Or even Liz has Labradors, while her parents have Great Danes.

Does qualitative research not control variables?

In qualitative research, researchers do not typically control variables in the same way as in quantitative research. Instead, they aim to explore and understand the complexities and nuances of a phenomenon without manipulating variables. The focus is on gaining in-depth insights and understanding the context in which the research is conducted.

Is anova qualitative or quantitative?

! ANOVA is generally computed for two or more QUANTITATIVE variables. If the quantitative variables are two or less in number, people prefer the t test (one sample t, paired t, or independent samples t) The Independent variable however is qualitative( for example, Girls and boys or Names of Schools.) It is the dependent variable that is Quantitative (for example, the ages - 2, 5 , 70, etc or weight or number of somethings). If you have 2 independent variables, you go for the two way ANOVA. Else, it's the one way ANOVA. !
