Data Description

Data description is the activity of summarizing and organizing the collected information in a meaningful way. It involves using measures like averages and variability, as well as visual tools such as graphs and charts, to provide a clear overview of the data’s key characteristics and distributions.

Data Collection

Data collection is the systematic process of gathering information from various sources, ensuring that the data is reliable, relevant, and comprehensive for analysis. This includes selecting appropriate methods—such as surveys, experiments, or observational studies—to obtain the needed data efficiently and accurately.
