The data can be analysed through graphs to model the behaviour of a certain experiment or to predict an outcome. For example: temperature, volume, weight are all quantitative data. In reaction kinetics for example, the change in concentration of reactants is monitored as a function of time. Both, concentration and time are quantitative data and can be plotted to deduce the order of a reaction.... Show More
