Detailed explanation-1: -Primary research usually costs more and often takes longer to conduct than secondary research, but it gives conclusive results. Secondary research is a type of research that has already been compiled, gathered, organized and published by others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary data are those that are collected for the first time. Secondary data refer to those data that have already been collected by some other person. These are original because these are collected by the investigator for the first time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Whereas primary data analysis is analysing the original data from a research initiative, secondary data analysis means analysing data that someone else has collected for another purpose.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is important to compare primary and secondary data so as to see if the secondary data supports the findings from the primary data gathered. If primary and secondary data support similar findings, this can strengthen the conclusions and reliability of results.
