data or information that is measured numerically rather than qualitatively.
A quantitative measurement is one in which a particular quantity is measured. This can be as simple as measuring how long something is with a ruler or tape measure, or how heavy something is with a set of scales. This is to be distinct from a qualitative measurement in which you are only interested in the presence of absence of a particular condition. You use instrumentation to determine a quantitative measurement. You can use your 5 senses to determine qualitative measurements.
Quantitative measurements are those which involve the collection of numbers. It is the opposite of qualitative data which are observations. For example, if you were interested in looking at height. Quantitative measurements would be taking an accurate measurement of everyone. Qualitative data would be looking at the person and putting them into a category of 'tall,' 'medium,' 'short.'
Numerical measurement or observation of numerical relation.
An example of quantitative data would be the number of people born in 1 hour.
Heart rate is generally a quantitative measurement. You can give a specific number (quantity) for it. You could express heart rate as a qualitative measurement by simply using comparative phrases such as fast, faster, slow slower, dangerously high, dangerously low, etc. Often the quantitative measurement is mapped to the qualitative terms to give a quantitative range that can map to a qualitative term to express the impact of that type of heart rate.
The reading of a speedometer is an example of quantitative data, as it represents a numerical measurement of speed at a given moment in time.
no
Quantitative
A qualitative observation merely indicates that the subject possesses a certain quality, for example "this water is salty". A quantitative observation takes a measurement of the quality, for example "this salty water has a concentration of 10% salt".

Numerical measurement
Quantitative is a description with a numerical measurement. For example: There is 12 mL of the solution. <-- You are describing how much of the solution there is with a numerical, measurable description. On the other hand, qualitative is a description of the features that is not measureable. For example: The solution is blue. <-- You are describing a feature of the solution.

quantitative ^-^ i actually got it right!
They are dissimilar - not alike. "she was tall" is qualitative. "she was 2.01m tall" is quantitative. It embodies a quantity or measurement.
