No, the definition of qualitative does not specifically refer to making models. Qualitative typically pertains to the nature of something, focusing on characteristics, qualities, and descriptions rather than numerical measurements or quantities. In research, qualitative methods aim to understand phenomena through detailed observations, interviews, and analysis of non-numerical data. Models can be a part of qualitative research, but they are not the defining aspect of what qualitative means.
Definition of the problem
QUANTITATIVE
Qualitative observations are those that cannot be measured mathematically or assigned a value. For example, "the sky is blue," is a qualitative observation, it has no mathematical value associated with it. Quantitative observations are those that have a mathematical value. For example, "this desk is 1 meter long" is a quantitative observation. Therefore, noting that something is bubbling is an example of a qualitative observation.

No, sugar value is considered quantitative data because it can be measured and expressed as a numerical value. Qualitative data typically consists of non-numeric information such as colors, shapes, or opinions.
Age is quantitative because it has an actual numerical value. Anything with a definitive value is quantitative. Qualitative data is more like an observation, such as color or appearance. I remember this by thinking that qualitative sounds like qualities and quantitative sounds like quantities. Hope this helps.
"The helicopter fell quickly" is an example of a qualitative observation. This is because it does not define "quickly" by giving it a fixed value.

A quantitative observation involves a numerical value e.g. The ball's mass is 10 g A qualitative observation does not e.g. The ball is red
It is a characteristic that can be used for classification but has no numerical value. For example, the colours of the cars in your street, or the favourite fruit of people in your class are qualitative variables.
Qualitative measurement is a method used to describe characteristics or attributes instead of quantifying them numerically. It focuses on qualities such as color, texture, taste, and appearance, providing descriptive information rather than numerical data.
