Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Data could exists in several different forms which often dictates if the data can be used directly in its raw format or if it requires conversion to another format. The nature of data is often very robust. Some data may occur as numeric and have meaning in terms of addition and other statistical properties; however some are only dummy and are restricted to (0's and 1's). Similarly, some may be used to show rank or depth and as such have no meaning while trying to perform Mathematical calculation. Therefore, choosing statistical summaries for the data sivj as the. Mean, median and mode will depend on the input, binary data cannot be summarized using the median or mean except the use of a modal score. While the presentation of the data using graphs also rewired that the nature of the data be considered before selecting a suitable chart (linen, bar, dot, pie and so on).
