 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my special thanks

and gratitude to our principal ma'am Mrs.
Rekha Sinha and the subject teachers Mr.
Ravindra Bhardwaj who gave us the
opportunity and fruitful guidance to do
this project. By doing this project we got
enriched with many information which can
help us in our future.
 MEANING
In the light of above mentioned
definitions we can say in brief, "Table
is systematic organization and
presentation of data in the form of
rows and columns. Whereas rows are
horizontal arrangements and
columns are vertical arrangements.
 DEFINITIONS
"Table involves the orderly and
systematic presentation of numerical
data in a form designed to elucidate to
problem under consideration.
According Prof. L.R. Corrnor
"Table in its broadest sense is an
orderly arrangement of data in column
and rows.“
According Prof. M.M. Blaire
 INTRODUCTION
The classification of data leads to the problem
of presentation of data. The presentation of
data means exhibition of the data in such a
clear and attractive manner that these are
easily understood and analyzed. There many
forms of presentation of data of which the
following three are well known:
(i) Textual Presentation,
(ii) Tabular Presentation,
(iii) Diagrammatic Presentation. Here, we
discuses in detail Tabular method of data
presentation.
 Parts of a Table
 Table number
 Title of the table
 Caption and stubs
 Body
 Prefatory or head note
 Footnotes
 Features of a good Table
Title as compatible with the
objective of the study.
To facilitate comparison.
Ideal size
Stubs
Use of Zero
Heading
Abbreviation
Footnote
Source of data
Size of Columns
Simple, Economical and Attractive
 Components of a Statistical Table
A statistical table has at least four major
parts and some other minor parts.
(1) The Title
(2) The Box Head (column captions)
(3) The Stub (row captions)
(4) The Body
(5) Prefatory Notes
(6) Foot Notes
(7) Source Notes
The general sketch of table indicating its
necessary parts is shown below:
(1) The Title
The title is the main heading written in capitals shown at
the top of the table. It must explain the contents of the
table and throw light on the table, as whole different
parts of the heading can be separated by commas.
There are no full stops in the little.
(2) The Box Head (column captions)
The vertical heading and subheading of the column are
called columns captions. The spaces where these
column headings are written is called the box head.
Only the first letter of the box head is in capital letters
and the remaining words must be written in lowercase.
(3) The Stub (row captions)
The horizontal headings and sub heading of the row are
called row captions and the space where these rows
headings are written is called the stub.
(4) The Body
This is the main part of the table which contains the
numerical information classified with respect to row
and column captions.
(5) Prefatory Notes
A statement given below the title and enclosed in
brackets usually describes the units of measurement
and is called the prefatory notes.
(6) Foot Notes
These appear immediately below the body of the
table providing additional explanation.
(7) Source Notes
The source notes are given at the end of the table
indicating the source the information has been taken
from. It includes the information about compiling
agency, publication, etc.
 General Rules of Tabulation
1. A table should be simple and attractive.
2. There should be no need of further explanation
(details).
3.Proper and clear headings for columns and rows are
necessary.
4.Suitable approximation may be adopted and figures
may be rounded off.
5. The unit of measurement should be well defined.
6.If the observations are large in numbers they can be
broken into two or three tables.
7.Thick lines should be used to separate the data under
big classes and thin lines to separate the sub classes of
data.
 OBJECTIVES OF STATICAL TABLE
The principal objectives of tabulation are stated below:
(1) To make complex data simple:
When data are arranged systematically in a table, such data become
more meaningful and can be easily understood.
(2) To facilitate comparison:
When different data sets are presented in tables it becomes possible to
compare them.
(3) To make data fit for analysis and interpretation:
Tabulation serves as a link between the collection of data on the one
hand and analysis of such data on the other. In other words, after
tabulating the data, it becomes possible to find out their averages,
dispersion and correlation. Such statistical measures are necessary for
their interpretation.
(4) To provide reference:
A statistical table can be used as a source of reference for other studies
of similar nature.
