-While qualitative research studies utilize a rather small-scale sample outlined purposefully, quantitative endeavors mostly employ probabilitybased sampling strategies (Patton, 2002).

- Unlike quantitative research, no statistical process is run to determine the significance of the data set. 

-Unlike quantitative research, formulas are not used for data analysis in qualitative research. Instead, the researcher tries to unfold the meanings and patterns embedded in the data set through her/his perspective.
