Question
Why do we group data?

Answer
The data obtained in original form are called raw data. Raw data does not give any useful information and is rather confusing to mind. Data is grouped so that it becomes understandable and can be interpreted. According to various characteristics groups are formed by us. After grouping the data, we are in position to make calculations of certain values which will help us in describing and analyzing the data.
