What is data and how it is collected from the data sources? Collected data is processed and then organised in in tables in a specific sequence. The data filled up in tables can be further analysed using frequency distribution and tally marks. It can be studied in detail and with examples in the chapter Data Collection and Organization.

Other than tables data can also be presented using charts and graphs, some of the related names are pictograph, bar graph, double bar graph, histogram, pie chart an line graph. How to make these graphs and charts from the data and how to interpret the information from the graphs can be learnt in the chapter Data Handling, Presentation and Interpretation.
