METHODS OF DATA

PRESENTATION
THREE METHODS TO PRESENT DATA:

Textual Or Narrative
Tabular
Graphical Method Of Presentation
TEXTUAL OR NARRATIVE FORM

- one describes the data by enumerating

some of the highlights of the data set like giving
the highest, lowest or the average values.

- In case there are only few observations,

say less than ten observations, the values could
be enumerated if there is a need to do so.
An example of which is shown below:
The country’s poverty incidence among
families as reported by the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA), the agency mandated to release
official poverty statistics, decreases from 21% in
2006 down to 19.7% in 2012. For 2012, the regional
estimates released by PSA indicate that the
Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao
(ARMM) is the poorest region with poverty
incidence among families estimated at 48.7%. The
region with the smallest estimated poverty incidence
among families at 2.6% is the National Capital
Region (NCR)
TABULAR METHOD of PRESENTATION
- is applicable for large data sets.
- trends could easily be seen in this kind of
presentation.

COMMON PARTS OF A STATISTICAL TABLE

1. Table title – includes the number and a short description of
what is found inside the table.
2. Column header – provides the label of what is being presented
in a column.
3. Row header – provides the label of what is being presented in a
row.
4. Body – are the information in the cell intersecting the row and
the column.

commonly used in oral presentation.

Frequency Distribution
FREQUENCY POLYGON
- is a line graph where the frequency of each class interval
is plotted against the corresponding class mark. The
horizontal axis contains the class marks, while the vertical axis
represents the frequency.
HISTOGRAM
- is a graph where rectangular bars are used to present the
frequency distribution. The horizontal axis contains the class
boundaries, while the vertical axis the frequencies.
