Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide the researcher the ability to understand quantitative methodology in a concise and easy-to-understand way. The chapter will include the history of quantitative research along with use and purpose. The chapter will explore different components of quantitative inquiry and design including variables and descriptive and inferential statistics. Multiple statistical analyses will also be detailed including linear regression, multiple regression, chi-square, Pearson correlation, and t-test. The chapter will include additional information on different types of quantitative instruments.
