How can I remember the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

One easy way of remembering the difference between these types of data is to think of the actual words quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data looks at quantities, or numbers and statistics, qualitative data on the other hand is more about the quality of information which can be more indepth.
