Question

Clayton has decided to use only quantitative data in his study. Which is an example of the type of information he may collect

Answer 1

Information on the appearance of things.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As we know quantitative data aims only to seek answers in terms of quantity, studies conducted with the use of quantitative data may only find information on the appearance of things such as the number, percentage, amount, etc.

• Unlike qualitative data, quantitative data seeks to answer 'how much' and how many' instead of 'why' and 'what'. For example, a quantitative data will try to answer the number of students who are interested in geography rather than why they are interested in geography.

• However, for a purposeful and in-depth research data, both quantitative and qualitative data should be accumulated together.
