Module2 Data Presentation
Forms of Presentation of Data – method by which the data are organized and
summarized to communicate information using variety of tools such as tables, graphs,
and diagrams.
Principles of Presentation
- Data should be presented in simple form
- Arouse interest in reader
- Should be concise but without important details
- Facilitate further statistical analysis
A) Textual
This form of presentation combines text and numerical facts in paragraphs to explain the
summary of data gathered. It usually discusses the highlights of the data
B) Tabular
This form of presentation uses statistical table that shows the data in a more concise
and systematic manner. The table facilitates the analysis of relationships of data.
It consists of rows and column or row and the numerical figures for various
classifications are written in its respective cells.
Advantage of Tabular Presentation
- Provides reader a good grasp of the meaning of the quantitative relationship of the data
presented in the report.
- Systematic arrangement of columns and rows make the table understandable
- Facilitate comparison
- Shows the whole picture of the data and making decision making will be easier
- Saves time for the reader to analyze and interpret data.
Example of Tabulation
Graphical
- It is the most effective means of organizing and presenting statistical data. The data
using graphical shows important relationship of data that can easily be seen.
Different Kinds of Graphs and Charts
Pie Chart
- This represents of the different components of a particular data. It shows the ideal graph
for partition of a whole. The total area of a circle is equivalent to 100%. The angles or
sectors should be proportional to the percentage components of the data.
Example#1 Example 2
Line Graph
- This kind of data presentation shows the relationship between two sets of quantities.
This is done by plotting the points of X set of quantities along the horizontal axis and the
Y set of quantities along the vertical axis in a Cartesian coordinate plane. Focusing on
the first quadrant. The plotted points will be connected by line segments, which finally
form the line graph.
Example 1
Practice Exercise#2
1) What is the horizontal axis
representing?
2) What is the vertical axis
representing?
3) Which month/s are the
highest bicycle sold?
Scatter Point Diagram
- Points are plotted in a Cartesian plan. It is like making a line graph except that there is
no need to connect the points.
Practice Exercise
1. In a taste test conducted at Genshin Impact and Honkai Starrail Mart, 200 people were
asked to taste 5 different flavors of new tetra pack juice drinks and to report which one
they preferred. The results are listed below:
Flavor Frequency
Pineapple 50
Grapes 27
Orange 70
