TASK 01
1.1 Explain the differences between “data” & “information”
Data are the facts and statistics collected in the raw form for reference or analysis whereas information is processed data.
There are certain terms of the English language that we take for granted and use interchangeably without knowing the correct usage of these words. Two such terms are data and information, used in everyday life and substituted for one another as we please. However there is a significant difference between the two words which requires clarity for even those whose first language is English
Data
Unorganized manner which may make no sense at all until organized properly. When researchers conduct surveys, they get answers to their questions via tools like question.
Data is information present in raw form for further usage. This may be present in a naris. These questionnaires at most times have options present as “a”, “b”, “c”, etc. when compiled together these alphabets make no sense on their own till they start referring to certain situations, answers or conditions. In computer lingo, data is basically the symbols or signals that are entered as commands. What it results in is organized information. Data on its own may be of no use till organized properly.
Information
Information is processed data that becomes of use to someone as raw data on its own does not provide the kind of information that can be used for beneficial purposes. Information is meaningful, relevant and helps the user develop an understanding of the data that did not provide any coherence or certainty in what it represented.
When researchers input data and then form correlations between the data and variables they have, this provides them with certain relationships between variables which is known as information.
Difference between Data and Information
When starting off with any research, data is the most basic form of input that a researcher possesses that has no meaning of its own. Some data
