The average adult makes thousands of conscious
decisions each day. Think about how many of those are
data-driven decisions, such as the ones you've been
learning about. Data surrounds your everyday activities.
The daily weather report contains data, and so does a
sign listing your local convenience store's hours. If you
think about it, you base your decisions on available data
all the time, whether you're checking the weather report
to decide what to wear or looking up store hours to
know what time to shop.
For each task listed below, what data is available to help
make decisions related to the task? For example, item
prices are pieces of data available for deciding how to
spend money.
1. When to wake up
2. Whether to go out to eat
3. What to spend money on
4. What to listen to on the radio
5. Who to call on the phone
