Statistics question from FAA exam, 2022 by JKSSB

Which of the following is not an example of published data?

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — Diaries
Understanding the ClassificationTo identify why "Diaries" is the odd one out, we need to look at the nature of the sources:Published Data: This refers to information that has been printed, digitized, and made available to the general public or specific professional circles.Public Records (A): Government gazettes, census reports, and vital statistics.Business Documents (C): Annual reports of public companies, balance sheets, and stock exchange listings.Trade Journals (D): Professional magazines and periodicals like The Economist or industry-specific technical papers.Unpublished Data (Personal Documents): This is data that is maintained for personal use or internal records and is not officially released to the public.Diaries (B): These are private records of personal experiences. While they can be used as a source for historical research, they are fundamentally personal and unpublished in their original form. Other examples include letters, memoirs, and internal office memos.
Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
