M1 Assignment No 1 Rabanzo John Philip C 3C BSIT

The document provides responses to questions about the difference between data and information. It defines data as raw facts, numbers, and symbols that are meaningless without processing, while information is data that has been organized and presented meaningfully. Processing means any action that produces useful information from data, such as finding totals or trends. Three examples are given where raw data can directly serve as useful information: when updating website codes, using GIS, and printing. Three business examples of data needing processing are provided: limiting quantities, transferring data, and securing information. The document concludes by identifying different information needs for managers at various Starbucks levels: retail store, district, and president of North America.

Assessment Task

Activity No.1 Case Study/Analysis

1. Using the college-application process as an example, explain the difference


between data and information. Identify the categories of data that you supplied
on your college application and the information generated from them by the
admissions department.
 Basically data can be in any of these forms numbers , words , symbols
which on their own may not mean any thing to any body who is looking at
them but when these are processed into something useful they become
information. facts, numbers, and symbols that are gathered and stored as
raw, disorganized data are referred to as Data. For example, data can be
a collection of temperature readings, a list of names, or a set of images.
Data is usually unprocessed and meaningless unless it is organized and
presented in a way that makes it understandable and useful. While in
Information, Information is data that has been processed and organized in
a way that makes it meaningful and useful. For example, information can
be the average temperature of a city over a month, the names of
employees in a company, or an image with labels and annotation that are
used to train a machine learning model. Information is the result of
processing and interpreting data.
2. What does the word “processing” in data processing mean?
 Data processing means gathering information from inputs and produces
data. Processing means any action that produces information from data,
such as finding totals, averages, ratios, and trends.
3. Give three examples in which raw data also serves as useful information.
 When the webmaster updates codes for the website
 When using GIS, you can enter raw data to manage your data more
efficiently
 To print specific things, you can send raw data directly to the printer.
4. Give three business examples (not mentioned in the text) of data that must be
processed to provide useful information.
 Limiting quantities
 Transferring Data
 Securing Information

5. Case Analysis
Consider these three positions at Starbucks: retail store manager (in charge of the day-
to-day operations at one store), district manager (responsible for the operations at
multiple stores), and president of Starbucks North America (in charge of operations
throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico). Identify the information needs of
managers at each level
