What are the similarities between quantitative research and qualitative research?

Answer 1

Quantitative research entails collecting and generating numerical data while qualitative research entails the generation of non-numerical data. Survey, questionnaires and measurements using various tools are common in quantitative research. Qualitative research often relies on verbal and theoretical data rather than measurements. Both research designs are used in the analysis and interpretation of a research topic.

Answer 2

Quantitative is data based such as numbers and figures or facts.

Qualitative is based on the things you notice using your senses.

Answer 3

They both require you to research in order to find out the information that you want. You can use primary and secondary sources for both.

Answer 4

Qualitative research is exploratory research used to understand things. Quantitative research is essentially an investigation using statistical or mathematical methods to understand things.
