                 In the previous class, we have learnt how to apply the concepts through visualization. In this

                 class, we are going to learn how to interpret the data and process the information.


                      DATA AND INFORMATION

                 Data refers to the raw input. When this data is processed, the outcome received is known as

                 information.
                 Look at the given table of students with their marks obtained in the exam:


                                                   Name                  Marks Obtained

                                                    John                         87
                                                   Manya                         67

                                                    Kiran                        58

                 This tabular format represents the data which gives us the information in a neat and clean
                 manner. It becomes easier to read the data when it is presented in such a format.


                      REPRESENTING INFORMATION


                 Let us study about some of the ways in which we can represent information.
