Answer 1

Answer:

What is data processing?

Data are typically subjected to processing activities, such as calculating, comparing, sorting, classifying, and summarizing. These activities organize, analyze, and manipulate data, thus converting them into information for end-users. The quality of any data stored in an information system also must be maintained by a continual process of correcting and updating activities.

Example. Data received about a purchase can be (1) added to a running total of sales results, (2) compared to a standard to determine eligibility for a sales discount, (3) sorted in numerical order based on product identification numbers, (4) classified into product categories (e.g., food and non-food items), (5) summarized to provide a sales manager with information about various product categories, and finally (6) used to update sales records.
