1.1 Create a plan for the collection of primary and secondary data: 

Data Definition:

Data is the scientific term for figures, information, measurement and facts that are gathers for the purpose of analysis.

For example : Number of people with glasses who pass their driving test each year, the number of gold medals won by athlete in the Olympic.

Primary data:

Primary data are information that are collected through personal interview, questionnaire and survey that are used for the intention of the specific survey that is being conducted.

Advantages of primary data:

The researcher have control of the data because it is collected by him/her through many method such as personal interview, questionnaire, survey, online survey and the questions that the researchers used are mostly tailored to fit the purpose of the survey.

Primary data information are the latest information collected from the marketplace and will provide researcher with better analysis.

Disadvantage of primary data:

Primary data is expensive because of the preparation design of questionnaire, survey and the way that it need to be carry out, researcher will need to invest a large amount of money in order to collect primary data.

Primary data is time consuming because the data collection methods need preparation and it also need to be planned out and research carefully.

The feedbacks that gained from primary data may not be accurate because there is a high chance that a person may give feedbacks with the intention just to complete the answers. The question need to be easy to understand and sometimes respondent give fake socially accepted, nice answer. There is also no guarantees whether the information is reliable.
