B) Only numbers recorded in spreadsheets

C) Only graphical charts and diagrams

D) Only written descriptions in documents

4 / 18

Why can a photograph taken during a scientific experiment be considered valid data for analysis?

A) Because photographs are always converted into numbers immediately

B) Because images cannot be stored digitally

C) Because images can contain useful observations and information

B) Exist only in numerical form

C) Be represented in multiple formats simultaneously

D) Never include images

11 / 18

Why is a collection of customer purchase records considered a dataset rather than isolated data?

A) Because datasets must contain images

B) Because all records are related to customer transactions

C) Because it contains only text values

D) Because it cannot be analyzed

12 / 18

Which option contains only examples of data rather than datasets?

13 / 18

What makes video recordings useful as data in modern data science applications?

A) Videos are not considered data

B) Videos contain visual and sometimes audio information that can be analyzed

C) Videos cannot store observations

D) Videos are always converted into text before use

14 / 18

Which scenario best represents a dataset collected for a specific purpose?
