Important of Quantitative Measurement

Many of our today’s knowledge of facts and findings are being achieved via the burden of experimentations and making quantities or measurements. Some of the measurements done by other researchers may be called unaccepted value of error or may have missing data. However, I believed errors can occur in many aspects of conducting research. For example, in data calculation, the mode seemed to be the most regularly arising data. If there are multiple values that occur regularly, each of them is called a mode (Frankfort-Nachmias, C., & Leon-Guerrero, 2015). The Series of Software Packages or SPSS descriptive analysis allows for the calculation of singular and/or multiple mode. However, singular mode is most often used. The range is equally important in showing the biggest and smallest values of the sampling variable. It is calculated by subtracting the minimum from the maximum (Wagner, 2016). The difference between the largest and smallest values of numeric variable is the maximum minus the minimum.
