Answer:
This is the name given to a collection of numerical facts
or information.
For
examples, the scores of the players in a game of cricket,
or the numbers of passengers carried by individual cars in
a traffic survey.
Data is the lowest level of abstraction, information is the
next level, and finally, knowledge is the highest level among
all three. For example, the height of Mt. Everest is generally
considered as data, and a report containing practical information
on the best way to reach Mt. Everest's peak may be considered
as knowledge.
