Quantative or Quantifiable Measurements.
You can take some measure and get a number out. Length, Temperature, Area etc.
As opposed to Qualititive Measure - Happiness, anger etc you can't take a ruler to someones mood.
Those are "quantitative" observations.
Numbers, sizes, areas, dimensions, volumes, speeds, distances, weights,
masses, temperatures, voltages, densities, costs, etc. are 'quantities'.
Qualitive
An inference is a logical conclusion based on observations. A generalization is a logical conclusion based on many observations and data. The difference between the two is that inferences deal with specifics pertaining to the experiment being worked on, while generalizations are more "general" and apply more to the idea than the specific experiment.
The main branches are the physical sciences and the biological sciences. The physical sciences deal with the natural world we are in, while the biological sciences deal with living organisms. What they have in common is the scientific approach, which makes observations and measurements, forms theories and tests them against the observational evidence. Scientific theories (other than in mathematics) are not provable and a physical theory is judged by its ability to predict what will happen in particular circumstances when compared with observations. All theories can be replaced by better ones if and when they are discovered.

Trur
Such observations are said to be quantitative.
This depends on what you are observing, but since number and amount are both measurements of quantity, they are somewhat interchangeable. Observations usually deal with both, because an observation is the action of observing something to collect information, and most information has to be quantified in order to be useful. And when quantifying something, a number or an amount has to be used.
Quantitative
Observations that deal with descriptions that cannot be expressed in numbers are called qualitative observations.

Quantitative
Qualitative observations
Qualitative (quantitative are observations that can be expressed numerically)
qualitive
Deal with a number, or amount.
Manipulative observations
Deal with a number, or amount.
