Analyzing Basic Quantitative Research. Assignment attached.
Quantitative research utilizes the scientific method to evaluate theories or problems by testing specific hypotheses involving the relationship among or the differences between variables. The variables are measured utilizing numerical data, allowing statistical procedures to be employed for a mathematical analysis. Many different quantitative designs exist within a basic or applied context to accurately address the purpose of the research and related research questions.
