Table
-
'Tabulation' is the simplest method of displaying numerical data.
-
The numerical data is listed in columns and rows.
-
The table should summarize the important features of the data and should have few figures and should be compatible with the objective. If the table comprises figures like percentages, which are derived by calculation from the original observations, these should be accompanied by sufficient data to enable recalculation of the original numbers.
-
In table, the variation in a character may not be understood easily.
-
Example: Season wise mortality percentage in poultry based on post-mortem examination (1988 – 1997) from Avian Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Namakkal, Tamilnadu, India.
