The size should be 8.5" x 11" for a business letter, the type of paper most frequently used.
A qualitative observation has to do with things you can't count, "The fish has black scales" is a qualitative observation. A quantitative observation has to do with things you can count, "The fish has 125 scales" is a quantitative observation. You can combine these two, an example would be "The fish has 125 black scales."
Quantitative observations usually uses tools such as interviews, telephone interviews, computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), questionnaires and web based questionnaires. Interviews In a quantitative research (survey), interviews are more structured than in a qualitative research. A quantitative interview would be a structured close ended type and a qualitative interview is always open end. Telephone interviews
The term data means groups of information that represent the qualitative or quantitative attributes of a variable or set of variables. Data (plural of datum, which is seldom used) are typically the results of measurements and can be the basis of graphs, images, or observations of a set of variables. Data are often viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and knowledge are derived. So no they cannot be used interchangeably.
Fractions of a whole.
EXAMPLE: Painting Qualitative: Blue Paint, Gold Frame, Smells Musty, Texture Shows Oils were Used, Scene of boats on a river Quantitative: Cost is $300, Weighs 8.9 lbs, Painting is 10" by 14", Frame is 14" by 18", Surface Area is 140 Sq. In. (Qualitative deals with descriptions and can be observed but not measured. Quality. Quantitative deals with numbers and can be measured. Quantity.)
Bar graphs are used when graphing a qualitative independent variable, but a line graph is used when the independent variable is quantitative. Also when you are comparing quantity of objects(bar graph)

Data is the raw material used for collating information to represent the qualitative or quantitative attributes of a variable or variables. Valid data can be gathered using carefully controlled observations or measurements. Qualitative observations are observations which can not be recorded numerically, they are qualities rather than quantities. Examples of qualitative observations are colour, type of material or taste. These observations may form the basis of information representing the attributes of a variable and as such they are data. Some may argue that qualitative observations are not always data as they may be observations of opinion rather than fact, I disagree with this argument. The true definition of a theory is a well-substantiated explanation or a well organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena. A theory may also be defined as an unproven conjecture. The use of the the word theory to mean a statement of opinion which cannot be substantiated is technically a colloquialism and should be disregarded. Data are often viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and knowledge are derived. As a theory is a system of accepted knowledge and knowledge is derived from data this suggests that a theory can not be data. Quantitative observations are observations which can be recorded numerically, they are quantities rather than qualities, such as shoe size, time, length or number of people. As with quantitative data, these observations may form the basis of information representing the attributes of a variable and as such they are data. Measurement of any quantity such as length, speed or pressure is the name given the process of estimating or determining the magnitude of a quantity or variable. Measurements by definition are representations of the attributes of a variable and as such they are data. Therefore a, c and d are data and b is not. Theories are not an example of data.

Most graphs: Pie charts, bar graphs, histograms, scatter graphs can all be used.
