 Write the interpretation and analysis of the
data in paragraph form.
 Steps:
 Write the sub-problem
 Introduce the table before you present your
data
 Write in paragraph form what you have found
in the table
 After doing the last paragraph, find out if the
paragraph answers your sub-problem.
