Question
Do you agree that classified data is better than raw data?
Solution
The data collected from primary and secondary sources are raw data or unclassified data. Once the data is collected, the next step is to classify them for further statistical analysis. Classification brings order in the data. It is a tedious task to get information from large unclassified data. The raw data are summarised and made comprehensible by classification. When facts of similar characteristics are placed in the same class, it enables one to locate them easily, make comparison and draw inferences without any difficulty.
