Information, Knowledge, Data

  • What is the relationship between data, information, and knowledge? 
    • Data is proven facts based on real world occurrences. Knowledge is the thoughts and understandings of people, everyone has different level and variety of knowledge. Information is the in between, it is the commonalities of facts that all or most people share. So, information and data and knowledge are all based on facts, but they range in accuracy and commonality. 
  • What are the best ways to find, see, and extract meaningful trends and patterns from raw data?

  • Where and how does human bias affect the collection, processing, and interpretation of data?
    • Often times people say that statisticians create the results that they want to see. This is because there are so many ways to manipulate and interpret data. Human bias in this way dictates the results of data.
