data
Recorded observations and measurements from an experiment are referred to as data. The data can either be quantitative or qualitative.
A percentage is a pure number: it has no measurement units.
Observations are direct experiences of a phenomenon, while data is the recorded information obtained from these observations. Data is collected through systematic observation, measurement, and recording as a way to quantify and analyze observations. In this way, data is derived from observations and helps provide objective evidence to support conclusions.
