Extraneous data is that which is not relevant to the specific question or area being considered/analysed.

So, for example, let us imagine you had collected data on all the boys and girls in your class at school. Now let us suppose that you wished to analyse all the data on the boys only.

As you are now only interested in the data relating to the boys, then the data relating to the girls is extraneous for this purpose.
