Arranging the scores from lowest to highest
will facilitate the enumeration of important
characteristics of the data. The test scores of
the 50 students in Statistics arranged from
the lowest to highest are shown below:

With the data now arrange according to
magnitude, we can easily see the important
features worth mentioning in the text. One
way of describing the data using the textual
form is as follows:

TABULAR PRESENTATION
Sometimes we could hardly grasp information
from textual presentation of data. Thus, we may
present data using tables.
By organizing the data in tables, important
features about the data can be readily understood
and comparison can be easily made. Thus, a table
shows complete information regarding the data. A
table has the following parts:
Method of presenting data using the statistical
table.
A systematic organization of data in columns and
rows.
Parts of a statistical table
Table number: this is for easy reference to the
table.
Table title: It briefly explains the content of the
table.
Column header: It describes the data in each
column.
Row classifier: It shows the classes or categories.
Body: This is the main part of the table.
Source note: This placed below the table when the
data written are not original.
