Abstract

Quantitative analysis is a method of research that involves gathering, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data using statistical techniques. It is particularly useful in fields such as economics, psychology, and sociology where studying human behavior and social phenomena involves complex relationships that cannot be captured with qualitative methods alone. Through surveys, experiments, and secondary sources, researchers can gather reliable data that can be analyzed using statistical techniques such as regression analysis, t-tests, ANOVA, and chi-square tests. The results obtained through quantitative analysis can inform decision-making processes in domains such as policymaking, business strategy, and healthcare. This chapter focuses on the statistical analysis used in quantitative research within the social sciences domain. By exploring these methods, we can gain a better understanding of how data is analyzed and interpreted to derive meaningful insights and conclusions.
