When there are discrepancies between the quantitative and qualitative sets of findings, it means there is no feasible explanation for the social phenomenon under investigation.iii. Qualitative data can be used to inform the formulation of hypotheses that can be tested via quantitative methods.iv. Mixed-methods research produces data of a higher level of quality and is therefore preferable to ‘single-method’ research whenever the budget allows.
