Quantitative research is a systematic and empirical approach to gathering and analyzing numerical data to answer research questions and test hypotheses in an objective, precise, and statistically analysable manner. It aims to obtain unbiased and measurable data focused on observable phenomena that can be quantified. Statistical analysis techniques are employed to analyze the data and draw conclusions. The rigorous procedures allow other researchers to replicate studies and verify findings, establishing generalizable knowledge applicable beyond the specific sample. Large sample sizes are typically involved to ensure reliability and validity.
