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

                 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.

                 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.
