________________2. Discussions should be analytic, logical, and comprehensive. 
________________3. There are four main types of Quantitative research: Descriptive, Correlational, Causal-Comparative/Quasi-

design are very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences.
________________4. Its main characteristics are: The data is usually gathered using structured research instruments. The results
are based on larger sample sizes that are representative of the population. The research study can usually be replicated or repeated,
given its high reliability.
________________5. The purpose of quantitative research is to attain greater knowledge and understanding of the social world.
Researchers use quantitative methods to observe situations or events that affect people. Quantitative research produces objective data
that can be clearly communicated through statistics and numbers.
