What is secondary data?

Secondary data is collecting and possibly processing data by people other than the researcher in question. Common sources of secondary data for social science include censuses, large surveys, and organizational records (Mintel). In sociology primary data is data you have collected yourself and secondary data is data you have gathered from primary sources to create new research. In terms of historical research, these two terms have different meanings. A primary source is a book or set of archival records. A secondary source is a summary of a book or set of records. Advantages to the secondary data collection method are - 1) it saves time that would otherwise be spent collecting data, 2) provides a larger database (usually) than what would be possible to collect on ones own However there are disadvantages to the fact that the researcher cannot personally check the data so its reliability may be questioned.

What is primary source of information?

There are two kinds of sources...primary and secondary. A primary source is information you see with your own eyes. An example would be a book written in first person, or a newspaper article. A secondary source is information that has been passed on. An example of this would be a gossip magazene or fiction book. Hope this helps :)

Advantages to the secondary data collection method are - 1) it saves time that would otherwise be spent collecting data, 2) provides a larger database (usually) than what would be possible to collect on ones own However there are disadvantages to the fact that the researcher cannot personally check the data so it's reliability may be questioned. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_data The link above is primarily on the use of secondary data for purposes of calculating statistics. In this electronic age, secondary data is disseminated very rapidly, such as credit card or employment history.

Does every color have a complementary color?

Let's start with what colors have complements red and green blue and orange yellow and purple one of the colors in the pairs is a primary (where no colors can be mixed to make that color) and the other color is a secondary that cannot be made by two other primary colors that are not of its complement (green is made of blue and yellow while it's complement is red) if you mix any two complementary colors, it will make brown. However, since brown is made of a primary (red, blue, or yellow) and a secondary (green, orange, or purple) color it doesn't have a complement because it isn't a primary nor a secondary color. Black is made of equal parts of all three primary colors while white is no color. I don't think they are considered complementary colors, but the fact that brown has no complement, they answer to the question would be no. Not every color has a complement.
