Which type of data aligns with technology use by focusing on number and frequency analysis?

Qualitative data
Quantitative data
Empirical data
Theoretical data

The correct answer is: Quantitative data

Quantitative data aligns with technology use by focusing on number and frequency analysis. Quantitative data involves measurements and numerical values, making it ideal for analysis through technology tools like statistical software. This type of data allows for statistical calculations such as means, frequencies, and correlations, which can provide valuable insights into trends and patterns within the data. Qualitative data, on the other hand, represents non-numeric information such as descriptions, opinions, and narratives. Empirical data is based on observation or experience and can be either quantitative or qualitative. Theoretical data refers to concepts and ideas rather than observable facts or measurements.
