'''Numerical data''' (or '''quantitative data''') is [[data]] measured or identified on a numerical scale. Numerical data can be analyzed using [[statistical method]]s, and results can be displayed using [[table (information)|table]]s, [[charts]], [[histogram]]s and [[graph (mathematics)|graphs]]. For example, a researcher will ask a questions to a participant that include words how often, how many or percentage. The answers from the questions will be numerical.
Examples of quantitative data would be:
*Counts
**'there are 643 dots on the floor'
**'there are 235 pieces of hard candy'
**'there are 8 planets in the solar system'
*Measurements
**'the length of this schlong is 1.892m'
**'the temperature at 12:00 was 18.9 degrees Celsius'
**'the average flow yesterday in this river was 453.2 cubic metres per second'
After the data is collected the researcher will make an analysis of the quantitative data and produce [[statistics]].
