Quantitative Reasoning?

Question

What is Quantitative Reasoning?

Answer 1

Often, quantitative reasoning (QR) is assumed to be synonymous with mathematics, and, indeed, the two are inextricably linked. Yet there are differences, one of which is that while mathematics is primarily a discipline, QR is a skill, one with practical applications. A mathematician might take joy in abstraction, but the well-educated citizen can apply QR skills to daily contexts: for instance, understanding the power of compound interest or the uses and abuses of percentages; using fundamental statistical analysis to gauge the accuracy of a statistical study; or applying the principles of logic and rhetoric to real world arguments.

Moreover, while mathematics is often exclusive, frequently with a language of its own, QR is inclusive, its language plain and everyday. In our information-rich - some might say information-overloaded - society, QR skills are especially important. We may no longer need to perform quantitative calculations by hand, but we do need to interpret them and judge their accuracy. Few people are trained to work with complex mathematical concepts, but all educated citizens should be able to understand mathematics well enough to develop informed opinions about quantitative concepts.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

Quantitative reasoning is the application of mathematical concepts and skills to solve real-world problems. In order to perform effectively as professionals and citizens, students must become competent in reading and using quantitative data, in understanding quantitative evidence and in applying basic quantitative skills to the solution of real-life problems.

Answer 3

Reasoning relating to numbers.

Answer 4

Look at the root word...Quantity. This would presume that you have taken in all the facts to base your reasoning on.

Answer 5

oooh my head hurts just thinking about it...fancy a homemade scone instead?

Answer 6

Reasoning that builds on itself??? lol,, i have no idea dude!
