So far this season, the average combined attendance for the washington nationals and baltimore orioles ranks fourth of the five major league markets with more than one team. research done by the washington post shows attendance in the baltimore-washington region trails los angeles, new york and san francisco-oakland but is slightly ahead of chicago. major league baseball would be using _____ data if it used this research to determine how competition affects attendance figures.

Answer 1

I think the correct answer to this would be:

“Secondary Data”

Secondary data are data which is previously collected for purposes other than the current one and is an important source of information. In this case, Major League Basketball would use the data gathered by Washington post for a different study.
