Which two statements describe characteristics of quantitative and qualitative research?

This statement is misleading, as both research types can be generalizable depending on their design and sample size. Quantitative research often seeks to generalize findings to larger populations through statistical analysis, while qualitative research may focus on depth rather than breadth but can still provide insights that are applicable to broader contexts.

This choice inaccurately describes quantitative research, which primarily relies on numerical data and statistical analysis rather than text. Qualitative research does involve textual data, such as interviews or observations, but the assertion that both types are "more text based" does not accurately reflect the nature of quantitative methods.

While quantitative research is inherently suited for statistical analysis, qualitative research typically involves thematic or content analysis rather than statistical methods. This distinction indicates that only quantitative research is primarily analyzed through statistical techniques, making this statement partially correct but misleading as a general characteristic of both types.
