1. Explain Information System

 Information System is a set of components for collecting, creating, storing, processing, and distributing information, typically including hardware and software, system users, and the data itself
2. Explain the type of information and give example:

  • Qualitative

Qualitative information is non numeric information based on the quality of an item or object.
Example:
If you were testing water then you might say that the taste is either nice or not so nice. 

  • Quantitative

Quantitative information is information than can be directly measured and can be seen as factual information rather than opinion.
Example:
When testing water the fluoride content of the water might be measured in milligrams. 

  • Primary

Primary information is information that you collect yourself. 
Example of primary information
Carrying out a survey or using sales figures from your own cash registers

  • Secondary

Secondary information is information that is collected from a secondary source outside of your own organisation.
Example:
You are relying on someone else to collect and supply the information and you need to ensure it comes from a reliable source.
