Descriptive Statistical Analysis
Common features of quantitative analysis are graphical representations of statistically analysed data. You use descriptive statistical analysis to indicate, for example, the quantities, frequencies, distributions and classifications of phenomena. This form of analysis often forms a basis for a more detailed analysis of the phenomena, such as correlation or causality analysis. This form of analysis requires you to know the basic concepts of the various methods of quantitative analysis, for example, variables, statistics, measurement scales, distributions, deviations and tabulations, and how to calculate them.
