Answer to Question 1

Data is any fact or assumption that is combined with other data to constitute a meaningful message - Information. The patterns, associations, or relationships among all this data can provide information. For example, analysis of retail point of sale transaction data can yield information on which products are selling and when. Examples of information are a business report or a bank statement.
Data are the building blocks of information. Data are any facts, numbers, or text that can be processed by a computer. Today, organizations are accumulating vast and growing amounts of data in different formats and different databases. This includes operational or transactional data such as, sales, cost, inventory, payroll, and accounting.
