Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keira is using secondary analysis, which involves using existing data sets that were collected by someone else. The fact that she is buying the data set from Statistics Canada indicates that it is an existing data set, rather than one that she collected herself (which would be primary analysis). Technical analysis and quantitative analysis refer to specific methods or approaches within data analysis, rather than data collection methods.
