Transcript text: QUESTION 17
Information is knowledge derived from recorded facts or figures.
True
False
Solution
The answer is True: Information is knowledge derived from recorded facts or figures.
Explanation:
Information is often defined as data that has been processed, organized, or structured in a way that makes it meaningful or useful. When raw data (facts or figures) is recorded and then interpreted or analyzed, it becomes information.
For example, a list of temperatures recorded over a week is raw data. When this data is analyzed to determine the average temperature for the week, it becomes information.
This transformation from data to information is a fundamental concept in fields such as information science, data management, and knowledge management.
