Differenciate between data and information .
Dear student,
Regards
| Data | Information |
| Data is unorganised and unrefined facts | Information comprises processed, organised data presented in a meaningful context |
| Data is an individual unit that contains raw materials which do not carry any specific meaning. | Information is a group of data that collectively carries a logical meaning. |
| Data doesn’t depend on information. | Information depends on data. |
| It is measured in bits and bytes. | Information is measured in meaningful units like time, quantity, etc. |
| Raw data alone is insufficient for decision making | Information is sufficient for decision making |
| An example of data is a student’s test score | The average score of a class is the information derived from the given data. |
