quatitative observations have to do with QUANTITY and qualitative observations have to do with QUALITY.
Qualitative observations
The two types of observations are qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative observations are descriptive and based on qualities, while quantitative observations involve measurements and numerical data.
Quantitative observations (as opposed to qualitative observations, which do not include numbers)
Quantitative observations are the data collected in an experiment, mostly numbers. Qualitative observations would usually include written answers to analysis questions.

Quantitative observations are measurements, giving numerical answers. Qualitative ones produce simple descriptions, e.g. bubbles.
Qualitative observations could also be called qualitative data, and would be data not related to exact numbers. Such observations could be warmth, flavor, gender, or yes-no answers to questions.
Qualitative observations involve descriptions that cannot be measured with numbers, such as colors, textures, and smells. Quantitative observations involve measurements and numerical data, providing specific quantities or amounts.
Both qualitative and quantitative observations are important, as they provide different insights. Quantitative observations give numerical data and allow for statistical analysis, while qualitative observations provide descriptive information and help in understanding the context and meaning behind the numbers. Both types of observations are essential for a comprehensive understanding of a situation.
