Answer to Question 1

The term data refers to facts that are recorded and can be accessed. The data is recorded and kept because it is considered to be of use to an intended user. The term information refers to the data that is accessed by a user for some particular purpose. Typically, getting the needed information from a collection of data requires performing an activity, such as searching through, processing, or manipulating the data in some form or fashion. The terms data and information are often interchanged and used as synonyms for each other. Such practice is very common and is not necessarily wrong, since information is simply the data that we need. If the data that an organization gathers and stores has a purpose and satisfies a user's need, then such data is also information.

Answer to Question 2

A

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
