TABLES the bars drawn in a diagram are generally of uniform width

A table is one of the easiest way for summarising data.
A statistical table is the logical listing of related quantitative data
in vertical columns and horizontal rows of numbers with sufficient
explantory and qualifying words, phrases and statements in the
form of titles, heading and notes to make clear the meaning of data.
Sum of all items
Average =
Total number of items
l = The bars are drawn proportional in length to the total
and then divided in the ratios of their components.

GRAPHS
Graphs are a convenient way to represent information. The graphs
should be labelled properly to show what part of the graphs shows
what value.
1. Bar Graphs - Bar diagram consists of a number of
equidistant rectangles. One for each category of the data
in which the magnitudes are represented by the length or
height of rectangle, whereas width of rectangles are
immaterial. Thus, a bar is just one dimensional as only the
length of the bar is to be considered and not the width. All
which depends on the number of bars to be constructed
and the availability of the space.
Types of Bar Graphs are–
(i) Simple Bar Graph : It is used to represent only one
dependent variable.
(ii) Sub-divided Bar Graphs : These are used to represent
the break down of a total into its component bars. A
bar is divided into different sagments, each segment
respresents a given component. Different shades,
colours, designs etc. are used to distinguish the
various components. An index is given to represent
the various components. To compare, the order of
various components in the different bars is same.
(iii) Multiple Bar Graph (MBG) : When a combination of
inter-related variables are to be represented graphically,
multiple bar diagrams are used. These are extended
form of simple bar diagrams. In M.B.G. many aspects
of the data are presented simultaneously with
separated bars or various shades of colours. An index
is given to explain the shades or colours used.
2. Line Graph(LG) : LG are used to show how a quantity
changes, very often the quantity is measured as time
changes. If the line goes up, the quantity is increasing and
the line goes down, the quantity is decreasing. If the line is
horizontal, the quantity is not changing.
3. Pie Graph(PG) is a pictorial representation of numerical
data by non-intersecting adjacent sectors of a circle sector’s
