If data has been recorded using technical media, which among the following is a necessary step on the way to its interpretation?

Transcription:

• It is the process by which audio files are interpreted into text. If data has been recorded using technical media transcription is used for interpretation.
• The most common type of transcription is that when computer file in transcribed into text or in any form which is suitable for printing.
• Earlier transcription was a difficult job because secretaries have to write down the speech using various techniques like shorthand. But this work has become easier as the new possibilities have emerged and there is the advancement of technology.
• With the birth of modern technology, the work of transcription has become much easier like speed recognition (which we can see in our mobiles as well)

NOTE:

• Structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques are considered today to be a major component of applied multivariate statistical analysis and are used by education researchers, economists, marketing researchers, medical researchers, and variety of other social and behavioural scientists.
• Sequential analysis is a statistical analysis where the sample size isn't fixed beforehand. Instead, data are evaluated as soon because it is collected, there are no predetermined rules for sampling instead everything is completed as and when samples are collected and evaluated.
• Sampling has been an age-old practice in everyday life. Whenever we want to buy a huge quantity of a commodity, we decide about the total lot by simply examining a small fraction of it. It has been established that the sample survey if planned properly.

Hence, if data has been recorded using technical media, transcription is a necessary step on the way to its interpretation.
