Quantitative Research is the function that allows us to obtain information and data about activities, events and occurrences in order that we can identify, define, monitor and better understand issues, problems and processes, through quantitative evaluation. The research specifies the data required to address the issues, problems or processes, designates the information and data gathering design and methodology, provides interpretation of the results and presents arguments, discussion and critical evaluation of the findings.
