Data mining is used to refer to the way companies collect and process data.  

Explanation:

An algorithm gives an overview picture of how to find a solution step by step. This serve as the base for writing a program. A program will not help in data collection because, it can only do whatever instruction falls under the program file.”Data washing” is once again invalid in this context.  

Data mining is a process of examining data to find a new information. It’s a process of extracting usable data from huge number of data. It is used to discover patterns and relationship between data.

the answer to your question would be something called hertz. the unit of measurement called a hertz, which is one cycle per second, is used to measure clock speed. within one cycle, your computer processes, refreshes, or updates itself to the changes that it is going through. in the case of computer clock speed, one hertz equals one tick per second. the clock speed of computers is usually measured in megahertz (mhz) or gigahertz (ghz)
