Question

Define raw data.

Answer 1

In your day-to-day life, you might have come across information, such as:
(a) Runs made by a batsman in the last 10 test matches.
(b) Number of wickets taken by a bowler in the last 10 ODIs.
(c) Marks scored by the students of your class in the Mathematics unit test.
(d) Number of story books read by each of your friends etc.
The information collected in all such cases is called data

Usually, data available to us is in an unorganised form called raw data. To draw meaningful
inferences, we need to organise the data systematically
