A qualitative measurement is just that- it measures the quality of something, or rather it's more of a physical observation.
So say you were observing a sunflower.
Yellow would be a qualitative measurement.
The texture of the petals(smooth).
All things that would qualify as sort of observations. Qualitative "measurement" actually uses no numbers at all.
This is a contradiction in terms. If something is qualitative you essentially don't measure it. If you measure, you are doing something quantitative.
An example of the difference is in chemical analysis. Qualitative analysis means to find out what something is, e.g. testing a food with iodine to see if there is starch present. Quantitative analysis measures how much of a substance you have, for instance doing a titration to measure the amount of acid in a solution.
they are measurements that have no numerical value, for example telling when a particular solution turns a different colour. It is often seen as being far less accurate than quantative measurements due to the human error involved.
Examples: Lactose in milk
- qualitative: determination only of the presence of this sugar in milk, with an adequate test.
- quantitative: determination of the concentration of lactose in milk, expressed in % or g/L.
Qualitative analysis: identification of an element, ion, substance but without an evaluation of the concentration.
Something that can be objectively and definitively measured like distance, mass, or temperature.
- test of chlorine in water
- test of sodium in a mixture by flame test
- test of hydrogen sulphide in a gas mixture

Social Security numbers are quantitative and not qualitative. This is due to the fact that they are numerical in nature.
If I had a 25% solution of sodium chloride and I did a quantitative measurement, the interest would be in HOW MUCH was present. In this case it would be 25%. If I did a qualitative measurement, all we would be interested in is - WHAT IS PRESENT. In this case sodium chloride and water. In simple terms, qualitative is "What is present" and quantitative is "How much is present"
Certainly rt-PCR is qualitative and can also theoretically be quantitative. Anneal the RNA to get a 1:1 RNA to DNA copy, then proceed with quantitative PCR.
1. Qualitative: this girl is tall. 2. Quantitative: this girl has 1,75 m.
the terms odorless ad colorless are quantitative terms
quantitative, it's a quantity a number measuring time.

Qualitative 100% its that and not quantitative The variable is qualitative because it is an attribute characteristic.
qualitative = how good something is quantitative= how much of it there is
Date of birth is Qualitative, but age is Quantitative.
PH is a number, so it is quantitative.
