An abstract is required. Quantitative research mainly considers numerical explanations or statistical measures. It is fundamentally applied as a systematic approach, based on which, research or investigation is performed with the help of employing varied statistical or numerical techniques to obtain firm evidence of the findings generated. The prime aim of quantitative researches is in most of the cases identified to employ a numerical/ statistical model and examine hypotheses in relation to the subject matter, which either leads to the rejection or acceptance of the assumptions taken. Irrespective of its wide differences with qualitative measures applied in a research study, the quantitative research approach is also deemed as effective in the fields of social sciences including psychology, sociology, history, economics, marketing, health, human development, gender along with political science and anthropology among others (Balnaves and Caputi 1-272).
