Answer 1

In statistics, quantitative research is the empirical systematic study of the situation in question,where the data is numeric in nature. On the other hand, qualitative research is a branch in statistics where we deal with non-numeric type of data. Here we are concerned on conducting a research on medical health insurance to find out it's negative effects on students.
So we will take sample of households from every state of the country(We can also take an SRS or systematic sample). Then, we collect data on each member of the household(who has visited hospital at least once as a patient) on qualitative matters like whether they have medical health insurance,what kind of health insurance they have, what lie under the purview of insurance coverage viz. Medicine, different types of tests, clothing, fooding, lodging. We should also ask them about their opinion on whether the patients without such coverage are deprived of certain facilities. Also whether they think the hospitals exploit them in the name of facilities and care through health insurance coverage. We should also look into the loopholes that the insurance companies may have plotted for the patient to fall for. All these variables are qualitative in nature and therefore calls for a qualitative research.
All these qualitative variables will be counted and can be used for testing the relevance or significance of corresponding negative effects on patients and infer on the patients of respective state or country.

We are concerned about the depth or context or non-coverages of medical insurance and not on the percentages or measures of health coverage. So, we can very well conclude that our research will be qualitative in nature.
