Question

The data obtained from the register with a security guard regarding the number of people present at different times of the day will be classified as _____.

• A. primary data
• B. secondary data
• C. continuous data
• D. variable data

Answer 1

The correct option is B secondary data

The security guard would ask the person to manually enter their details in the register, which includes the entry and the exit time. We just have to verify through these times in order to estimate these numbers. This kind of data will thus be classified as secondary data.
