'''Numerical data''' (or '''quantitative data''') is [[data]] measured or identified on a numerical scale. Numerical data can be analysed 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.
An example of quantitative data would be: 'there are 643 dots on the ceiling' or 'there are 735 pieces of bubble gum'. or 'there are 8 planets in the solar system'
