Collection of Data:
The method for collection of data depends upon various factors such as objective, scope, nature
of investigation and availability of resources.
Primary data
Primary data is the one, which is collected by the investigator for the purpose of a specific
inquiry or study.
Collection of primary data is done by a suitable method as per the following:
1. Direct personal observation
2. Indirect oral interview
3. Information through agencies
4. Information through mailed questionnaires
5. Information through a schedule filled by investigators
2. Indirect oral interview Indirect oral interview is used when the area to be covered is large.
3. Collecting information through agencies Methods of collecting information through local
agencies or correspondents.
4. Information collected through mailed questionnaires Often, information is collected
through questionnaires.
5. Information through schedule filled by investigator Information can be collected
through schedules .
Secondary data
Any information, that is used for the current investigation but is obtained from some data, which
has been collected and used by some other agency or person in a separate investigation, or
survey, is known as secondary data. Secondary data may be collected either by census or by
sampling methods.
Q.NO.2.
(Variance)
_
100 = 10
d1 = 30-20 =10
d2 = 15-20 = 5
N1 =10
N2 = 20
So, Variance = (10 (25+100)+ 20(100+25)) / (10+20) = 1250+2500/ 30 = 125
So combined S.D. =
125 = 11.18
A's Coefficient of variance = sqrt(25)/30 = 16.67% and B's Coefficient of variance = sqrt(100)/15
= 66.67%. So ans is A.
P(A1) = 0.25, P(A2) = 0.35 and P(A3) = 0.40, P(B/A1) = 0.05, P(B/A2) = 0.04 and
P(B/A3) = 0.02
These are joint probabilities...
A --> P(A1)*P(B/A1)
B --> P(A2)*P(B/A2)
C --> P(A3)*P(B/A3)
And posterior probabilities are - t = A+B+C
A --> P(A1)*P(B/A1) + t
B --> P(A2)*P(B/A2) + t
C --> P(A3)*P(B/A3) + t
