Quantitative research is a systematic and objective method of collecting and analyzing data using numerical and statistical techniques to answer research questions (Bhandari, 2023). It involves the collection and analysis of numerical data, often using surveys, experiments, or correlation, to identify patterns, trends, and correlations. The purpose of quantitative research is to generate generalizable and replicable findings that can be used to make informed decisions or develop theories.
