Analyzing and interpreting data involves two main processes: 1. Analyzing data examines, structures, and processes collected data to discover relevant information and draw conclusions. It can involve both qualitative methods like analyzing texts and interviews, or quantitative methods using statistics and numbers. 2. Interpreting data assigns meaning to the analyzed data to make informed conclusions and explain relationships and patterns in the data. Both qualitative interpretation of themes and categories and quantitative interpretation using statistical modeling are used. The document provides an overview of the differences between qualitative and quantitative data analysis and interpretation methods. It explains key aspects of each approach like the types of data, techniques used, and goals.
