ankurwa10 I do sound like the dumbest guy but should't the answer be 1. i.e. I collect these data. I don't prepare them. unless you stress on the word "output" in the question, which is to say that it my output on the basis of data collected?
leon121 ankurwa10...collecting data is equivalent to just taking face value the data...collecting = RAW...when you process data = editing the data and turning it to something meaningful.
