Feedback:
Research data (singular, datum) are the pieces of information gathered in a study. In quantitative studies, researchers identify and define their variables, and then collect relevant data from subjects. The actual values of the study variables constitute the data. Quantitative researchers collect primarily quantitative data—information in numeric form. In this question it is 107 oz. Length of time in labor, "I practically slept through the whole thing," and vaginal versus cesarean delivery are not documented as numeric values in this example.
