Before talking about the meaning and types of the two forms of data let’s understand the
difference between grouped data and ungrouped data

hand, when the displaced data is arranged in a condensed form by creating groups of
the observations collected is called as grouped data.

is a simple list of numbers. As against, grouped data is preferred at the time of data
analysis.

3) Ungrouped data is presented in the form of list’s, whereas frequency tables are used to
express grouped data.

data is organized into a number of classes

the researchers, but grouped data is summarized in a frequency distribution.
