Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Quantitative research is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques.

Detailed explanation-2: -Quantitative research is the process of collecting and analyzing numerical data. It can be used to find patterns and averages, make predictions, test causal relationships, and generalize results to wider populations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Quantitative research deals in numbers, logic, and an objective stance. Quantitative research focuses on numeric and unchanging data and detailed, convergent reasoning rather than divergent reasoning [i.e., the generation of a variety of ideas about a research problem in a spontaneous, free-flowing manner].

Detailed explanation-4: -Quantitative research-concerned with precise measurement, replicable, controlled and used to predict events. It is a formal, objective, systematic process. Numerical data are used to obtain information about the subject under study.

Detailed explanation-5: -Quantitative data is data that can be counted or measured in numerical values.
