Complete Question
Exit Poll that showed the chances of winning the number of seats by different parties in the 2014 Lok Sabha election shown on T.V. by some channels, for the viewer is:
(a) Primary data
(b) Secondary data
(c) Continuous data
(d) Discrete data
Answer
The answer is (a) Primary Data and (d) Discrete data
An exit poll is always taken firsthand by various news stations, through a sample of voters immediately after they have cast their votes and left the booth.
- Any data that has been collected first-hand by the researcher solely for that particular research project in hand is called Primary Data.
- Any data that was already collected by some other researcher and can be readily used by others is called secondary data.
- Continuous data is that data type that can easily take up any value and its distribution is continuously spread without any breaks.
- Discrete data is that data type that takes up isolated values and is discontinuously spread.
Now since the news station themselves collect all the data relevant to the exit poll for the sole purpose of examining who might win the election, It is primary data.
The number of voters cannot take up any value, and due to differences in opinion, the distribution has a very low chance of being continuous. Hence, the data is discrete.
Therefore, the answer is (a) Primary Data and (d) Discrete data
