Drake Glau Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Raw data came from direct measurements. Processed data means you did something with the raw data mathematically.Here's an example with rate of respiration.You collect the amount of CO2 in a given amount of time. Let's say you get 34mL.Let's now say you were using a constant 60min interval. Your raw data would be the 34mL.A possible form of processed data could be the rate of respiration by doing the 34mL/60min and you would get a rate.Make sense? 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Soiboist Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 What the processed data should include depends on the experiment done. Sometimes you would calculate mean values of raw data, sometimes you would analyse the trends in data etc. If you say what kind of experiment you have done it is easier to help you. Also remember that the graphs you are supposed to construct always should be from processed data, and so your calculations. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
