Quantitative research arises from the search for scientific knowledge, characterized by knowing the reality of the different social phenomena, which can be known through the human mind, the data are products of the measurements made to the observed variables of the object of study and its purpose is to explain and predict (Hernández, R. Fernández, C & Baptista, L. 2002). In this order of ideas, knowing the reality is based on the characteristics of the object of social study, where the researcher, according to his intentionality and tradition of the study, can assume an exploratory position when there are no or few investigative referents, descriptive when through statistics the object of study is characterized externally and correlate those that relate variables.
