Do scientists prefer quantitative or qualitative data?

Scientists often prefer quantitative data because it allows for statistical analysis and objective measurement, which can lead to more definitive conclusions. However, qualitative data is also valuable, particularly in exploratory research or when understanding complex phenomena that require context. The choice between the two often depends on the research question and the specific context of the study. Ultimately, a combination of both types of data can provide a more comprehensive understanding of a research topic.


Which method do you prefer in determining for the volume of liquid?

It really depends on how much you are measuring. Like over 100ml and I'd stick to a large graduated cylinder. Under 1 ml (possibly up to 5ml even) and you could keep adjusting a micropipette until all the sample is just taken up for an estimate. 5-100, you could use a graduated cylinder for an estimate and calibrate the graduated cylinder against a burette

How do you work the math problem 256 ounces equals how many gallons?

I assume you mean liquid ounces. Unfortunately there are different definitions of gallons and liquid ounces - which is just one of many reasons to prefer the metric system. In the U.S., one gallon = 128 liquid ounces, so you divide the number of liquid ounces by 128.
