Quantitative research is a systematic approach to studying phenomena Quantitative research is essential in the field of research and academia for
through the collection and analysis of numerical data. It involves the use of several reasons, and its importance can be summarized as follows:
statistical techniques to draw conclusions and make inferences about the
population being studied. In this lecture, we will delve into the characteristics, Objectivity and Precision: Quantitative research relies on numerical
