What Is Measurement?

Measurement is the process observing and recording the observations that are collected as part of a research effort.

For example,

instead of saying that someone is tall, we can specify a measurement and specify that the Individual is 6 feet tall.

What Is Information?Data that is

(1) Accurate and timely, (2) Specific and Organized for a purpose, (3) Presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance, and (4) Can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty. Information is valuable because it can affect behavior, a decision, or an outcome.

For example,

A single student GPA is a Data but an average student GPA is a information.

What Is Analysis?A systematic examination and evaluation of data or Information, by breaking it into its component parts to uncover their interrelationships.

An examination of data and facts to uncover and understand cause-effect relationships, thus providing basis for problem solving and decision making.

Why measure? 

Because without data, you only have opinions.

Why analyze? 

Because the data you collect can't help you if you don't understand it and use it to shape your decisions.
