Video narration
Mili hears one classmate say, "Cricket!" Another says, "I like hockey!" Then someone chooses kabaddi. Mili pauses. Which game is most popular in the class? One person's answer cannot tell her, and neither can her own guess. She needs to ask classmates and collect their answers. That collected information is called data. It helps answer the question using what people say or what we observe-not just one opinion. A guess is one idea; data is collected information.
