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].1.The data is usually gathered using structured research instruments.2. The results are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the population.3. The research study can usually be replicated or repeated, given its high reliability.4. Researcher has a clearly defined research question to which objective answers are sought.5. All aspects of the study are carefully designed before data is collected.6. Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often arranged in tables, charts, figures, or other non-textual forms.7. Project can be used to generalize concepts more widely, predict future results, or investigate causal relationships.8.Researcher uses tools, such as questionnaires or computer software, to collect numerical data.Population and Sampling DesignPOPULATIONS1)Definition -?a complete set of elements (persons or objects) that possess some common characteristic defined by the sampling cr
