TABULAR PRESENTATION OF DATA

Tabular Presentation of Data

Tables are useful for clear
presentation and comparison of
large numbers of data items.
They also allow data to be
presented at a level of detail
which cannot usually be
determined from a text.
 The Frequency Distribution Table
 This is a table which shows the data arranged into different classes,
and the numbers of cases which fall into each class are tabulated.

 Ungrouped frequency distribution table means there is only one category

per row or per class. This is used if the range of the set of data is
not so wide for example 10 or less.

 Grouped frequency distribution table has several categories or multiple

values in one row or class. This is used if the range of the set of
data is so wide, for instance 11 and above.
Rules to Remember in Constructing
Tables:
1. Tables should have the following labels:
 table number: for easy reference; written on top of the
table
 table title: to briefly explain the contents of the table;
title follows the table number
 column headers: to describe the entry in each column
 row classifier: to classify rows
2. Source Notes: to acknowledge the sources of data
3. Frequency: to show the number of entries per category
4. Total frequency: to have a general picture of the total
population
5. Percentage frequency: for quick view of the characteristics
of the data set

Steps:
1. Find the range, R, using the formula:
𝑹 = 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒆 − 𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒆
2. Compute for the number of intervals, n, by using the formula:
𝒏 = 𝟏 + 𝟑. 𝟑 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝑵
where 𝒏 = 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒔
𝑵 = 𝒑𝒐𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
3. Compute for the 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒔𝒊𝒛𝒆, 𝒊, using the formula:
𝑹
𝒊=
𝒏
4. Using the lowest score as lower limit, add (𝒊 − 𝟏) to it to obtain the higher limit of the desired
class interval.
5. The lower limit of the second interval may be obtained by adding the class size to the lower
limit of the first interval. Add 𝒊 − 𝟏 to the result to obtain the higher limit of the second
interval.
6. Repeat step 5 to obtain the third class interval, and so on, and so forth.
7. When the 𝒏 class intervals are completed, determine the frequency for each class interval by
counting the elements.
