Qualitative and quantitative research differ in their focus and methodology. Qualitative research uses surveys and interviews to understand topics that are open to debate, asking how and what questions. It relies on a single source of information like interviews. The final report involves breaking down themes from the collected data. Quantitative research aims to prove or disprove hypotheses using concrete facts and statistics. It asks what, how, and does questions to test hypotheses. Multiple sources of numerical data are analyzed statistically to support or refute hypotheses. Both approaches analyze and measure collected data, although they differ in their scales, sources, and analytical approaches.

Difference between Qualitative and Quantitative Research
Qualitative Research Quantitative Research This type of research focuses on topics that This type of research is used when the are debatable and uses different kinds of researcher wants to prove something and it surveys and interviews. only contains facts that cannot be changed. More questions that deal with how and what The questions asked in this type of research are frequently used in this type of research. focuses on what, how, and does which are Researchers ask this kind of questions to their used by the researchers to prove or disprove respondents to better understand the society their formed hypothesis or the prediction or any situation they are involved in. about the outcome of their research. In a qualitative research, only one source of In a quantitative research, researchers use information is used to collect data from. They numbers to prove if something is correct or can gather data from newspapers, journals, incorrect. They commonly use statistics and interviews, or observations depending on concrete data and evidences. what they want to do. When making a final report, all of the data The final report in this type of research is collected by the researchers are broken down easier to make because the researchers review to different kinds of theme. It is very time the data they have collected and see if there consuming for they have a lot to write and the are any statistical significance in the gathered research is still up for discussion which makes information. After this, they start to the participants highly involved in it. conceptualize a conclusion that may back up their hypothesis or go against it.
Similarities between Qualitative and Quantitative Research
The data in both qualitative and quantitative follows an order or a scale. Ordinal data is classified in quantitative data while there is no standardized scale in a qualitative data. The data gathered in both types are used for research and statistical analysis in different approaches, but both are used in the same thing. The raw data gathered in both types of research are analyzed depending on how they conducted their research. Qualitative and quantitative research are used in measuring the results of the data they have collected.
