Any researcher can interpret the data of a Quantitative research, While Qualitative research is an entirely different type of research. It is defined as “A type of research that aims to find out people's opinions and feelings rather than information that can easily be shown in numbers”dwet The results from Qualitative Research are different from one researcher to another.
