For F2, chapter 2, the test at the end appears as follows:
—Which of the following are examples of secondary data?
(i) A count of the number of invoices that we are issuing each week
(ii) The average wage of the population taken from government census results
(iii) The average wage paid to our employees
(iv) The sales for the month as reported on a websiteA (i) and (ii)
B (iii) and (iv)
C (i) and (iii)
D (ii) and (iv)—
I chose D; however, the mark scheme is reporting that C is the answer. I’m confident I’m right but I was wondering if I could get a second opinion.
H?… first when i read the question i gave the same answer as you but i guess we are confusing ” EXTERNAL DATA ” with ” SECONDARY DATA” if the question would have asked for external yes option D would be the right one but for secondary data the right one is “C”

James, I believe your answer is right, if you have taken that data from a “secondary” source where it was already collected rather than gathering it yourself in accordance with your needs, then it is secondary data.
