Explanation:

• In statistical research,secondary data refers to the secondhand data or information about the concerned research topic which have already been collected previously by other individual researchers or research agencies/entities.
• The sources of secondary data therefore,constitutes old or previous newspapers,magazines,journals,reports,internet mediums,articles and so forth.Note that while collecting secondary data,the researcher himself or herself is not collecting the required data or information but relying on other or secondary sources for the same.
• In this regard,official annual reports can provide periodic facts,information or numerical data about any concerned research topic which the researcher can access according to personal convenience.Hence,all the information or data contained in the annual reports are already collected by any official entity or organisation or individual.Hence,these can be considered as a source of secondary data.
