Ways To Present Data in Statistics

This document discusses different ways to present statistical data, including diagrammatic and tabular methods. Diagrammatic presentation uses visuals like pie charts, bar graphs, histograms and line graphs. These are attractive and make comparisons easier. Specific diagrammatic methods covered are line diagrams, bar diagrams, histograms, pie diagrams and pictographs. Tabulation involves organizing numeric data into rows and columns for analysis. There are simple and complex types of tabulation depending on how many characteristics the data is organized by.

Ways to interpret/present data in statistics

1. Diagrammatic Presentation of Data


It
is
a

technique of presenting numeric data through pictograms,


cartograms, and pie diagrams. This method is often the most
appealing way to represent data.
Advantages include:
 Diagrams are attractive and impressive
 Easy to remember
 Diagrams save time
 Diagrams simplify data
 Diagrams are useful in making comparison
 More informative
Methods of presenting Diagrammatic data Are:

A. Line Diagrams - A line graph is a unique graph which


is commonly used in statistics. It represents the change in
a quantity with respect to another quantity. If the relation
including any two measures can be expressed utilizing a
straight line in a graph, then such graphs are called linear
graphs. Thus, the line graph is also called a linear graph.
B. Bar Diagrams - A bar chart or bar graph is not a chart
or graph that presents categorical data with rectangular
bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values that
they represent. The bars can be plotted vertically or
horizontally. A vertical bar chart is sometimes called a
column chart.
C. Histogram - A histogram is a graphical representation
that organizes a group of data points into user-specified
ranges. Similar in appearance to a bar graph, the
histogram condenses a data series into an easily
interpreted visual by taking many data points and grouping
them into logical ranges or bins. (Bar graphs have a gap
between each bar while Histograms don’t)
D. Pie Diagram - A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a
circular statistical graphic, which is divided into slices to
illustrate numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc
length of each slice (and consequently its central angle and
area), is proportional to the quantity it represents. While it
is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been
sliced, there are variations on the way it can be presented.
E. Pictographs - A pictograph is a way to represent data
using images. Each image in the pictograph represents a
certain number of things. In other words, a pictograph uses
pictures and symbols to convey information about the
provided data. Pictographs should be used very carefully
and it is very comfortable to use, but sometimes they may
lead to misinterpretation of data as well.
2. Tabulation
Tabulation is a systematic and logical representation of
numeric data in rows and columns to facilitate comparison
and statistical analysis. In other words, the method of
placing organized data into a tabular form is known as
tabulation.
Types of Tabulation
Simple Tabulation - Gives information regarding one or
more independent questions and when the data are
tabulated to one characteristic.

Complex Tabulation - When the data are tabulated


according to various characteristics, it is stated to be a
complex tabulation. For example: tabulation of data on the
population of the planet is divided into three or more
characteristics like religion, language, literacy, gender etc.
is an example of a complex tabulation.
