1) A company used government-produced data that showed the economy grew by 4.6% in the last year.
Which of the following describes the data used by the company?
– Primary and continuous
– Secondary and discrete
– Secondary and continuous
– Primary and discrete
I think the answer should be **Secondary and continuous**. since 4.6% is a measure, so it’s continuous data.
please correct me if I’m wrong.
It is secondary. However it is discrete because it is a specific figure and not a range of figures.
What does the answer in your book say?
Secondary and continuous, confirm
As I replied before, I would regard it as being secondary and discrete.
