Examples of numeric data include:
- number of people expressing satisfaction with an organization's IT help desk
- a company's annual turnover for each of the last 5 years
- time in seconds to process a data file
- number of characters in a computer animation
- number of people accessing the Internet for more than 20 hours per week
- number of hot links on a website
The idea of quantitative data analysis is to look for patterns in the data and draw conclusions.
