What different between data and information?

Answer 1

Data consists of raw facts and figures. When that data is processed into sets according to context, it provides information.

For example, recording the temperature of your classroom continuously over a set period is data collection. From that data information may be derived, such as the highest, lowest, and average temperatures over that period.

A computer follows instructions (a 'program') in order to process 'data' into 'information', and can make possible the processing of vastly greater amounts of data that can be achieved efficiently otherwise.
I'll give you an example,

Data: Each student's test score is a piece of data.

Information: The class' average score or the school's average score is the information that can be concluded from the given data.

Answer 2

Data are plain facts. The word "data" is plural for "datum."

When data are processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make them useful, they are called Information.

For instance :

• Data can be thought of as measurements - items of fact.
• Information is what those measurements mean.

Thus one can measure the height of a 1000 14 year old boys and girls, the measurements are data.

If one then performs statistics on the data one can work out what the average height of a 14 year old boy or girl is - this is information.

Answer 3
