RD Sharma Solutions For Class 7 Chapter 22 – Data Handling – I (Collection and Organisation of Data)
1. Define the following terms:
(i) Observations
(ii) Data
(iii) Frequency of an observation

Solution:
(i) Observation is the activity of paying close attention to someone or something in order to get information in numerical form.
(ii) Data: The collection of observations is known as data.
(iii) Frequency of an observation: The number of times an observation occurs in a given data is called the frequency of an observation.
