Example: Suppose a researcher wished to do a study on the monthly salary (in thousands) of teachers of selected
schools in the division of Taguig and Pateros. The research first would have to collect the data by asking each teachers
about their monthly salary. The data collected in original forms is called raw data. In this case, the data are
