RAW camera file format and photography

What are three advantages of a RAW file:
Better quality images
Higher in dynamic Range 
Data completely for camera senor 
What is one disadvantage of a RAW file:  sometimes its not as sharp
What are three advantages of a JPEG file:
Saves you space
Higher in contrast
No need of correction ( most of  the time) 
What is one disadvantage of a JPEG file:  Low in dynamic range
 
1. Under the first heading "Capturing the Images," how much of the data does a RAW file retain after it is captured by the camera?
RAW uses all the data

2. Under the second heading "Processing the Files," what are some of the things that a RAW file enables a photographer to edit after the image is taken?
you have control over things like white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors and saturation.

3. Under the third heading "Practicalities," what are some of the factors that photographers must consider when deciding to shoot in RAW?
RAW Format takes up more space than JPEG.

4. Under the fourth heading "Which one is for you?" why would an aspiring professional photographer need to know how to work with RAW files? 
 JPEGs have limited editing options so you cannot maxims the image potential, but if you don't want to deal with editing extensively then you should stick with JPEG but if you dont mind editing and processing a better quality image then you should you RAW.
