 1. Why Data Collection is important I Engineering Data Analysis?

The importance of Data Collection in Engineering Data Analysis is the key of

decision-making such as with accurate and reliable data which it runs into a
process of extracting with the help of technology in easy, fastest and effective
way, the gathered information will be utilized for the conducted analysis and
able to solve and answers the specified questions, evaluate hypothesis,
estimate, and support outcomes. In addition, data collection ensures the
reliability and validity of the Engineering Data Analysis wherein without
collected data it will drive poor decisions and results.

2. What is the difference between Sample and Population?

The difference between Sample and Population was most commonly confused
about how to distinguish the difference of both terminologies but connected.
The population includes the whole individuals of a certain group of people,
places, events, objects, etc. It is virtual wherein the population varies because
of its infinite and uncountable size, too large through which it takes too much
time, and not reachable due too its broader scope. On the other hand, the
sample is selected randomly in the specific group which will represent based
on what characteristic is been conducted for the data analysis. Therefore, the
population is the generalization for the chosen certain properties while the
sample is the subset or part of the population that specializes in the primary
objective of the population. In conclusion, to have an accuracy of inference,
make a thorough collection, analysis and utilization.
