What is meant by quantitative information?
Quantitative means in measurable amounts as opposed to qualitative. For instance, if someone asked you what the weather was like you could say, "it is hot" (qualitative), or you could say, "it is 95 degrees" (quantitative).
Is green liquid qualitative or quantitative?
ha ha... it could be either. Qualitative would be if you did a taste test to see if the green liquid (hopefully kool-aid) tasted good to different people. Quantitative would be if you measured how much of the green liquid there was. It isn't inherently either one, as qualitative and quantitative describe types of data, rather than things such as colored liquids of unidentified origin.
Can you distinguish between discrete and continuous variables in statistics?
Quick way to think about the difference: Discrete variables have to be measured in whole numbers; typically you can't have fractions of discrete variables. Continuous variables can be measured, if desired, to very fine levels of accuracy and are typically not thought of as being measured in whole numbers. Example: How many drinking glasses do you own? Your answer will be a whole number. A fraction of a drinking glass has no meaning, unless you're counting broken glasses. How much water is in that glass? Your answer could be finely measured over any number of different scales, to any number of decimal places. Amount of water would be a continuous variabe in this case. There are various ways to use and measure variables, so it depends on your research need. For example, water might be a discrete variable if you are using 8 ounce sealed bottles of water as your units.
What are Samples of things that could be measured?
all solid things could be measured
Examples of quantitative research?
Quantitative research is anything that uses numbers. An example of such research could be a survey asking people how much they make.
What is the weaknesses of a quantitative risk assessment?
A quantitative risk assessment is based upon assumptions about the likelihood of various events occurring. Those assumptions could be wrong.
What are the three types of variables?
The three types of variables are: Independent: it is the one that you manipulate Dependent: the one that reacts to the changes in the independent variable and is measured in a experiment Control: all the other factors that could affect the dependent variable but are kept constant through out an experiment
When an equation has two variables there is a number of values that the two variables could have?
If an equation has two variables, we'll call them (x,y), the variables can be any value as long as both sides of the equation have the same result. If the equation was x = y, then the variables could be (1,1), (2,2), (3,3),etc...
Does a expression contain two variables?
It could
What are quantitative relationships?
I have my science ISA paper 2 and the first question is about quantitative relationships. It is an experiment and there are results. I know quantitative data means number data but what is quantitative relationship between variables (changes)
Would data set on ethnic groups be a qualitative variable?
Some variables in the data set might be qualitative, others might not. For example, if one were to sample newly arrived immigrants to Toronto, Canada and create a data set of information about them one could include both qualitative and quantitative data. One might measure each person's height which would be quantitative, and observe each person's eye colour, which would be qualitative.
What could be studied using quantitative measures?
the volume, mass, length, or the amount of an object
