 FORMAT FOR DATA REPRESENTATION
• Present results in appropriate tables and graphs (and ensure consistent format)
• Number and label (i.e. the caption) for figure or table accordingly. Label the (x - axis, y-axis) of
your graphs.
• Don’ t forget to include units for tables and figures /graphs (including their captions)
• Include deviation bar as well (if available) (i.e. error bar) by adopting appropriate deviation
measurement (i.e. standard deviation, student T- test)
