Answer:

This statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data is always a piece of information. It is a collection of facts ( numbers, words, details, measurements, descriptions) and can be qualitative (it describes something) or quantitative (numerical information).

Data as information refers to conditions, ideas or objects. It can be collected in many ways, the simplest one is direct observation. A census or a sample are also methods of collecting data.

The singular form of data is datum.
