Quantitaive versus Qualitative

It is important in Higher Administration to understand the basic differences between these two different types of information.

Normally Quantitative and Qualitative information is asked in a question comparing each.

So in order to prepare an answer with direct points of comparison, here are some:

Quantitative information is information that is easy to measure, on the other hand Qualitative information is a value judgement.

Quantitative is based on facts and figures, whereas Qualitative is based on attitudes and opinions.

Quantitative is definable whereas Qualitative is descriptive.

Sales figures would be an example of Quantitative information.

A focus group report on customer's attitude's to a new product would be Qualitative.
