The use of quantitative research has many advantages that can be summarized in six main points.

Collect reliable and accurate data: Since data is "collected, analyzed and presented in numbers", the results obtained will be truly reliable.

Rapid data collection: Data are obtained from a representative group of a population. Data collection methods, as well as the way data are analyzed using statistics, not only save time, but also reduce waste of resources.

Wide range of data analysis: Statistics, as a useful tool, also allows a larger amount of data to be obtained from larger sample groups, which can be a limitation in other situations.

Eliminates bias: There is no possibility of self-interpretation or preconceptions of the results. The results obtained are statistical. Therefore, they are verifiable.

Objective and adequate: for hypothesis testing and the results are valid, reliable and generalizable to a larger population.

Is an investigation about a specific problem through the application of a scientific approach adopted, that permits to observe, count and analyze the information required using statistical techniques

Quantitative approach: it has a linear
linear conception, that is to say that
clarity between the elements
elements that make up the problem
the problem, that it has definition,
limit them and know exactly
where the problem starts.

It allows the necessary information to be observed, counted and analyzed using statistical techniques. Therefore, this approach can be considered scientific in nature.
