An example of raw data from a national chain of automobile stores would be what?

The reason that selling 1 Toyota RAV4 on March 3, 2005, in Louisville, Kentucky is considered raw data is that it represents a specific, unprocessed fact without analysis or summarization. Raw data refers to individual observations or measurements that have not been organized or interpreted in any way to derive trends or patterns.

In this case, the information provided is a precise instance of a transaction: it specifies a particular vehicle sale, the date, and the location. This granularity allows for further analysis and interpretation, such as calculating averages or identifying sales trends over time. On the other hand, the other options present summarized or processed information. For example, averages and percentage increases are derived from multiple instances of sales data and involve calculations that move beyond simple raw data, making them not fit the definition of raw data.
