These are terms that are generally used in statistics.

Univariate means using only one variable, like the heights of basketball team members.
Bivariate means using two variables, like heights and shoe sizes of basketball team members.
A quantitative variable is numeric, like someone's height in inches.
A qualitative variable is a label, like gender or political party preference.

Quantitative--Figured out based on numbers/facts/where/when etc.
