Subject field(s)
  • Statistics

The results of an experiment, census, survey, and any kind of process or operation.

OBS

The plural form "data," which is more commonly used in this field than its singular form "datum," is often perceived as a collective noun, which takes a singular verb. However, "data" can take a plural verb if attention is being focused on each individual piece of data (e.g. The data were transferred.).
