How would you determine the difference between a qualitative and a quantitative measurement?

A quantitative measurement tells you a number in some dimension, such as the wavelength of light of that "yellow" solution, the numerical weight of something, temperature, length, number of units in a given area or volume (ppm), etc.

What is quantitative measurement?
A quantitative measurement is one in which a particular quantity is measured. This can be as simple as measuring how long something is with a ruler or tape measure, or how heavy something is with a set of scales. This is to be distinct from a qualitative measurement in which you are only interested in the presence of absence of a particular condition. You use instrumentation to determine a quantitative measurement. You can use your 5 senses to determine qualitative measurements.
Is density a qualitative and quantitative?
Yes, qualitative property is an example of density. The amount of matter in a given substance will determine whether it will be dense or not.
What is qualitative and quantitative analysis in gas chromatography?
Qualitative analysis is to determine the type of gass is in a gas mixture. Quantitative determines the amount (concentration) of the different gases in the gas mixture
What is the main difference between qualitive and quantive observations?
The main difference between qualitative and quantitative research/observations are the purposes of the observations. Qualitative research uses a small number of cases to determine the underlying reasons and motivations of an action. Quantitative research uses a large number of cases to create a generalized result.
How do you make a qualitative experiment?
A qualitative experiment is one where you determine WHAT happens, as opposed to a quantitative experiment where you measure how much of something happens.
What is the definition of qualitative knowledge?
There are basically two kinds of observations that scientists make, which are described as qualitative and quantitative. A qualitative observation gives you a general description. For example, a particular substance might be observed to be a liquid, blue in color, in a bottle. Quantitative observation involves measurement. For the same substance you might discover that it weighs 1.098 kg, that it has a temperature of 23o C, and by pouring it into a graduated cylinder, you could determine that it has a volume of 1.3 liters, etc. Qualitative observations don't involve numbers, and quantitative observations do.
Which of the two words means study of qualitative or quantitative?
Qualitative analysis is analysis carried out to show the presence or absence of something whereas quantitative analysis is analysis carried out to determine the actual amount or concentration of something. hope this helps.
What is the difference between test and measurement?
A test is generally qualitative. That is, you are testing for the presence or absence of some particular property. A measurement is quantitative. This is when you are trying to determine the amount or extent of some quality. A measurement can be represented by some number. A test light might tell you that there is voltage across two terminals. A volt meter could give you a measurement of how much voltage there is across the terminals. For instance, 5 volts or 12 volts or 120 volts.
Geologists would used qualitative measurement to?
- to determine the chemical nature of a rock - to determine the age of a rock by comparison
Which one is for measuring qualitative or quantitative?
A qualitative measurement is just that- it measures the quality of something, or rather it's more of a physical observation. So say you were observing a sunflower. Yellow would be a qualitative measurement. The texture of the petals(smooth). All things that would qualify as sort of observations. Qualitative "measurement" actually uses no numbers at all.
What is personnel planning?
Personnel planning deals with determining the future qualitative and quantitative needs for personnel according to the organization's strategic and operational demands. With qualitative needs is meant competence of the personnel as well as educational-, age- etc. structures. It is necessary to determine the natural attrition of the personnel in future years. The difference between supply and demand will indicate the future quantitative and qualitative need for personnel. This information has an effect on the recruitment and development planning of the personnel and on the measures taken. In a broader sense personnel planning encompasses the most personnel strategic and leadership duties, for instance delegating tasks and shifts as well as looking after the well being and competence of the personnel.
What are the Quantitative tests?
quantitative test is test where it determine the quantity of substance in expereiment
