Quantitative data is data that can be measured with numerical values, and can be analyzed using mathematical and statistical methods. The two scales of data measurement that are associated with quantitative data are interval and ratio. Interval data is numerical data where the intervals between values are equal and meaningful, but there is no meaningful zero point. Ratio data has all the properties of interval data, but also has a true zero point, where zero represents the absence of the characteristic being measured.
