There are basically two kinds of observations that scientists make, which are described as qualitative and quantitative. A qualitative observation gives you a general description. For example, a particular substance might be observed to be a liquid, blue in color, in a bottle. Quantitative observation involves measurement. For the same substance you might discover that it weighs 1.098 kg, that it has a temperature of 23o C, and by pouring it into a graduated cylinder, you could determine that it has a volume of 1.3 liters, etc. Qualitative observations don't involve numbers, and quantitative observations do.

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
Ethnographic research is qualitative in nature in that it uses observations, interviews and narratives to study or obtain knowledge about the human experience.
a graph where a function is described without using specific values
knowledge is the way of figuring things out.
It's nothing but practical knowledge.
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.
you have knowledge of it.....
To know things.
There are several definitions, such as knowledge is power, but my definition is that knowledge is the understanding of information in life.
The way I remember it is that Quantitative data includes quantities... numbers. 3.4 m, or 57 degrees Celsius Qualitative data describes qualities... descriptions. hot, blue, longer.
