Detailed explanation-1: -Quantitative vs. qualitative research. Quantitative research is a numerical and statistical analysis of statistical and numerical data (numbers and statistics). On the other hand, qualitative research deals with open-ended and non-numerical data (concepts, descriptions, meanings, words, and more).
Detailed explanation-2: -Qualitative research relies on the knowledge of the researchers. Qualitative research does not offer statistical analysis, for that, you have to turn to quantitative data.
Detailed explanation-3: -Qualitative data is non-numerical and unstructured. Qualitative data generally refers to text, such as open-ended responses to survey questions or user interviews, but also includes audio, photos and video.
Detailed explanation-4: -Qualitative Research uses statistical formulas in interpreting gathered data. FALSE: Qualitative research interprets narrative responses thus, mathematical computation may not be possible. Only Qualitative research requires research questions.
