It reduces the time and effort required to process large datasets. Generalized Data Information gathered derived from larger datasets, a more manageable portion of the population. Reliability Reliability refers to the data that is consistently accurate it happens when data are repeated. enhancing confidence in the research outcomes. Fast Data Collection The use of technology, such as online surveys and data collection software, further accelerates this process. Replication In quantitative research, it is the process of conducting a study again to make sure the findings are trustworthy and consistent.  CHARACTERISTICS Objective Faster Data Analysis Reliability Replication Results are unaffeted by the Statistical tools give way for a less Data is taken and analyzed Quantitative method can be researcher’s instuition time- consuming data objectively from a sample as a repeated to verify findings analysis representative of the population Large Sample Visual Result Generalized Fast Data Size Presentation Data Collection Data must come from a larger Data are presented Data taken from a Uses standardized sample size through graphs, charts, sample can be applied research intstruments and tables to the population
