CH 2 Statistics - Mind Map Primary and Secondary Data - Difference

This document provides information about primary and secondary sources of data collection for statistics. It defines primary data as data collected directly from the source for a specific study, while secondary data is data that already exists and was collected for another purpose. The key differences highlighted are that primary data is original, more costly to collect, and does not require adjustment, while secondary data is pre-existing, less costly, and may need adjustment for the current study. Examples are given of collecting marks directly from students versus from existing report cards.
