In each instance identify whether the data described is primary or secondary
Home / 8th grade / Statistics / Discrete data / Primary vs secondary data
Data can be divided into two types, "primary data" and "secondary data".
Primary data is data that you have generated yourself by doing surveys, experiments, recording values in a systematic way. Primary data is the raw data that you gather based on your own definition of the question you want to answer and how to go about answering it.
Secondary data is data from other sources such as books, journals or online articles. Secondary data was initially compilled by someone else as primary data, but when you use that data it has become secondary since you did not generate that data yourself.
In this topic you are asked to decide in each instance whether the scenario described means that the data is primary or secondary. There are 6 question/answer pairs in the lessons for this topic, and an additional 10 question/answer pairs in all the games and tests.
