Types of Data

Primary data is information that is collected from the surveyor or yourself. This gives you more accurate first-hand data because you collected the data yourself.

Secondary data is information that is collected from someone else. It is impossible to go around collecting data for absolutely everything, which is why statisticians sometimes need to rely on others in order to obtain data. The positive of this is that you don’t have to spend time in order to collect data for yourself. The drawback, however, is that secondary data collected may not be entirely accurate.

This is a dot plot. Each dot represents 1 object surveyed. In some instances, dots can be worth multiple objects, so in order to ensure that your data is accurate, make sure you always look at the legend if available.

This is a pie graph. Pie graphs are used to compare the parts to the whole. The bigger the pieces of the pie, the larger the amount is represented as part of the pie.

This is a line graph. Line graphs are generally used to track trends. They can even be used to predict future values.

This is a pictograph. Pictographs are very similar to dot plots. The only difference is that pictures are used to represent objects rather than dots.

This is a tally table. Tally tables are a quick visual display to show the results from collected data. Each tally mark is represented by a vertical line and the 5th line is generally a horizontal line to keep it neat and tidy.

All of these different graphs represent data in different ways.
