Which statement best defines quantitative evaluation?

• A. It depends on personal opinions.
• B. It uses anecdotal evidence.
• C. It relies on numerical data and measurements.
• D. It focuses on qualitative descriptions.

Answer: (C)

Quantitative evaluation centers on numbers. It rests on numerical data and measurements, which let us quantify variables, compare results, and apply statistical analysis. This makes findings objective and reproducible. The other options describe relying on personal opinions, anecdotes, or qualitative descriptions, which focus on descriptions or stories rather than measurable quantities, so they don’t capture the numeric, measurable aspect that defines quantitative evaluation.
