Question 1

Data Processing Cycle Stages

Answer 1

• Data Collection
• Preparation
• Input
• Processing
• Output / Result
• Storage

Question 2

This is the first stage of the cycle, and is very crucial, since the quality of data collected will impact heavily on the output

Answer 2

Data Collection

Question 3

The collection process needs to ensure that the data gathered are both defined and accurate, so that subsequent decisions based on the findings are valid

Answer 3

Data Collection

Question 4

Some people consider this as a part of processing but does not involve any processing

Answer 4

Preparation

Question 5

It is the manipulation of data into a form suitable for further analysis and processing

Answer 5

Preparation

Question 6

This is the feeding of collected data, raw and sieved data for processing

Answer 6

Input

Question 7

It is the task where verified data is coded or converted into machine readable form so that it can be processed through an application

Answer 7

Input

Question 8

This is the step where data is processed by electronic data processing, mechanical processing, processing system or other means

Answer 8

Processing

Question 9

The processed data is delivered in the form of information/ results in this step. Once the result or output is received, it may further be processed or interpreted

Answer 9

Output / Result

Question 10

is the stage where processed information is now transmitted and displayed to the user

Answer 10

Output and interpretation

Question 11

is the last stage in the data processing cycle, where data, and metadata (information about data) are held for future use

Answer 11

Storage

Question 12

is term used to explain the sequence of steps or process used to process the raw data and turn it into readable form and generate meaningful information

Answer 12

Data Processing Cycle

Question 13

This continuous use and processing of data follow a

Answer 13

cycle

Question 14

is simply the conversion of raw data to meaningful information through a process

Answer 14

Data processing

Question 15

suggests a sequence of steps or operations for processing
data i.e., processing raw data to the usable and readable form

Answer 15

Data processing cycle

Question 16

This stage provides both the baseline from which to measure, and a target on what to improve.

Answer 16

Data Collection

Question 17

identification of datasets and data items is done at this stage

Answer 17

Data Collection

Question 18

includes sorting and filtering of data which will finally be used as input

Answer 18

Preparation

Question 19

This stage required you to remove the extra or unusable data to make processing faster and better

Answer 19

Preparation

Question 20

This is a broad step in reducing the quantity of data to yield in a better result

Answer 20

Preparation

Question 21

Preparation is sometime referred as

Answer 21

data cleaning

Question 22

is about constructing a data set from one or more data sources to be used for further exploration and processing

Answer 22

Preparation

Question 23

If the inputs is not given properly or entered wrong, then the result will be adversely affected. This is because software follows the rule of

Answer 23

“Garbage in – garbage out”

Question 24

It is when the data is subjected to various means and methods of powerful technical manipulations using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence algorithms to generate an output or interpretation about the data

Answer 24

Processing

Question 25

is presented to users in various report formats like graphical reports, audio, video, or document viewers.

Answer 25

Output

Question 26

The importance of this cycle is that it allows quick access and retrieval of the processed information, allowing it to be passed on to the next stage directly, when needed.

Answer 26

Storage
