Acquiring, Processing, and Interpreting Data
Working with data involves three key steps: acquiring, processing, and interpreting. First, gather data from
sources like surveys and databases. Next, process it by cleaning and organising it for accuracy. Finally, analyse
the data to find patterns and insights that help make informed decisions.
Types of Data
In statistics, various types of data are gathered, analysed, interpreted, and presented. These data consist of
individual factual pieces recorded for analysis. Data analysis involves interpretation and presentation, producing
statistics to get some meaningful insight from that data. Data classification and handling are crucial processes
that use multiple tags and labels to define data, ensuring its integrity and confidentiality. Artificial Intelligence is
crucial, with data serving as its foundation. We come across different types of data and information every day.
Data can be broadly classified under Textual data and Numeric Data as explained.
Textual Data (Qualitative Data)
Textual data is the information that is written or expressed using words and language. It includes things like
articles, books, emails, messages, and any other written content. Instead of numbers, it's made up of letters,
words, and sentences that convey meaning and information. Qualitative data is also called categorical data.
