This depends on what you are observing, but since number and amount are both measurements of quantity, they are somewhat interchangeable. Observations usually deal with both, because an observation is the action of observing something to collect information, and most information has to be quantified in order to be useful. And when quantifying something, a number or an amount has to be used.
Such observations are said to be quantitative.
Manipulative observations
When observations deal with amounts or numbers, they are called quantitative observations. These observations involve measurable data that can be expressed numerically, allowing for statistical analysis and comparisons. Quantitative observations are essential in scientific research as they provide objective evidence that can be replicated and verified.
Qualitative (quantitative are observations that can be expressed numerically)
