Types of Data Different criteria Rawdata/processeddata Quantitative/qualitative Discrete/continues Univariable/multi-variable Primary Vs Secondary
Census Vs Survey • Less time • Less cost • Less labour • More accurate • Only method
Types of Survey Primary Survey – Two Parties Surveyor/Investigator/Invigilator & Respondent Field Survey – Single Party + Instruments Secondary Survey?

Important statistical terms Population: a set which includes all measurements of interest to the researcher (The collection of all responses, measurements, or counts that are of interest) Sample: A subset of the population
Sampling • The process of drawing a number of individual cases from a larger population • A way to learn about a larger population by obtaining information from a subset of a larger population • Example s….

Stratified Random Sampling c. Multistage Sampling a. Systematic Sampling d. Convenience Sampling • e. Cluster Sampling
Non-probability sampling • Purposive Sampling • Quota Sampling • Snowball Sampling • Convenience Sampling
