Just for data, the information is 90-60-90...SI!
Data refers to raw facts, figures, or symbols that have yet to be processed or organized, while information is the result of processing and organizing data into a meaningful form.
Data is the foundation of information. Without data, there can be no information. Data is transformed into information through analysis and interpretation.
No, data and information are distinct concepts. Data is the input, while information is the output. Data only becomes information when it is processed and given context.
Data can include numbers, letters, images, or any other symbols. Examples of information include reports, graphs, charts, and summaries that provide meaning and context to the data.
Understanding the difference between data and information is crucial for effective decision-making. Data provides the foundation for making informed decisions, while information helps us understand the implications of those decisions.
