Questions Related to introduction to statistical method and econometrics

The statistical data are of two types. These types are

  1. technical data and presentation data

  2. primary data and secondary data

  3. primary data and personal data

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Consider the statically data,

There are two types of statically data,

1-An advantage of using primary data is that researchers are collecting information for the specific purposes of their study. In essence, the questions the researchers ask are tailored to elicit the data that will help them with their study. Researchers collect the data themselves, using surveys, interviews and direct observations.

2-There are several types of secondary data. They can include information from the national population census and other government information collected by Statistics Canada. One type of secondary data that’s used increasingly is administrative data. This term refers to data that is collected routinely as part of the day-to-day operations of an organization, institution or agency. There are any number of examples: motor vehicle registrations, hospital intake and discharge records, workers’ compensation claims records, and more.

Hence this is the answer.

The statistical data are of two types. These types are

  1. technical data and presentation data

  2. primary data and secondary data

  3. primary data and personal data

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The statistical data are two type .These are

1.Primary data-The primary data is the first hand  information that collect and published by the organisation.
2.Secondary Data-The secondary data is the second hand information that is already collected by someone for some purpose. 

Primary data in statistics is the data collected from : 

  1. Primary sources

  2. Secondary sources

  3. Both

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Primary data is data originated for the first time by the researcher through direct efforts and experience.

So it is collected from primary sources.

Identify the two types of the statistical data.

  1. Technical data and presentation data

  2. Primary data and secondary data

  3. Primary data and personal data

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
There are two types of data:-
a) Primary Data: Data extracted by surveying and it is used for that purpose for which surveying is done. 

b) Secondary Data: Data is extracted for another purpose best in using for another purpose.
