What are the advantages and disadvantages of both inferential analysis and qualitative analysis? 

Inferential analysis is a statistical technique used to draw conclusions about a population based on data collected from a sample. The main advantage of this type of analysis is its ability to make accurate predictions and identify trends in large datasets; it also allows researchers to test hypotheses and uncover relationships that may not have been obvious before. However, one potential disadvantage is that inferences made from the data may be subject to certain biases or errors due to sampling methods used or other factors.

Qualitative analysis, on the other hand, involves collecting descriptive information such as observations or interviews in order to gain insight into underlying causes for behavior or attitudes. Strengths include the ability to capture detailed accounts of experiences which can provide deeper understanding than quantitative methods alone. Weakness however include potential difficulty with reliability/validity due to researcher bias, inconsistency in interpretation across respondents, and difficulty with generalizing results because they are often limited by small sample sizes. Ultimately both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages depending on the research question being asked so careful consideration should be given when selecting which one is most appropriate for any given study.
