Question 1
Primary Source | Secondary Source | Tertiary Source |
A primary source provides direct information or link to an event or phenomena | A secondary source gives information or details about an event on the basis of a primary source or a source based on primary source | A tertiary source could be identified as a source that would summarize information about any secondary source |
The accuracy of information is objectively higher than secondary or tertiary sources. | The accuracy lies midway between that of primary sources(less than) and tertiary sources(greater than) | This type of a source is likely to be the least accurate of the three type of sources(less than) |
e.g. - If there is an experiment to identify the number
of people aged over 50 from a selected population :
A primary source would be - the experiment data.
A secondary source would be - a newspaper reporting on the
experiment data.
A tertiary source would be - a reference book that summarizes the
newspaper report.
