What is quantitative research?

A type of descriptive research
A type of inferential research
A type of causal research
A type of exploratory research

The correct answer is: A type of inferential research

Quantitative research is a type of research that involves collecting and analyzing numerical data using statistical methods. In contrast, descriptive research focuses on observing and describing a phenomenon, causal research seeks to determine a cause and effect relationship, and exploratory research aims to explore new ideas and topics. While all these types of research are related, they each have unique characteristics and methods, making them distinct from quantitative research.
