Data Presentation
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).
Textual or Narrative
• Detailed information are given
in textual presentation
• Narrative report is a way to
present data.
Tabular
• Numerical values are presented using
tables.
• Information are lost in tabular
presentation of data.
• Frequency distribution table is also
applicable for qualitative variables
Tabular
The following are the common parts of a statistical table:
a. Table title includes the number and a short description of what
is found inside the table.
b. Column header provides the label of what is being presented
in a column.
c. Row header provides the label of what is being presented in a
row.
d. Body are the information in the cell intersecting the row and
the column.
Graphical
• Trends are easily seen in graphs
compared to tables.
• It is good to present data using pictures or
figures like the pictograph.
• Pie charts are used to present data as part
of one whole.
Graphical
• Line graphs are for time-series
data.
• It is better to present data using
graphs than tables as they are much
better to look at.
Frequency
Distribution Table
and Histogram
Frequency Distribution Table
are used to depict the
distribution of the data.
Frequency Distribution Table
a presentation containing non-
overlapping categories or classes of a
variable and the frequencies or counts
of the observations falling into the
categories or classes.
Steps in constructing FDT
1.) Identify the largest data value or the
maximum (MAX) and smallest data value
or the minimum (MIN) from the data set
and compute the range, R.
R = MAX - MIN
Steps in constructing FDT
1.) Identify the largest data value or the
maximum (MAX) and smallest data
value or the minimum (MIN) from the
data set and compute the range, R.
R = MAX - MIN
Steps in constructing FDT
2.) Determine the number of classes, k
using k = N, where N is the total number
of observations in the data set. Round-off
k to the nearest whole number.
Steps in constructing FDT
3.) Calculate the class size, c, using
c = R/k. Round off c to the nearest value.
Steps in constructing FDT
4.) Construct the classes or the class
intervals.
5.) Tally the data into the classes
constructed in Step 4 to obtain the
frequency of each
class.
Steps in constructing FDT
6.) Add (if needed) the following distributional
characteristics:
• True Class Boundaries (TCB)
• Class Mark (CM)
• Relative Frequency (RF)
• Cumulative Frequency (CF)
• Relative Cumulative Frequency (RCF)
Histogram
is a graphical presentation of
the frequency distribution
table in the form of a vertical
bar graph.
Take Note!
• Three methods of data presentation:
textual, tabular and graphical.
• Two or all the methods could be
combined to fully describe the data at
hand.
Take Note!
• Distribution of data is presented
using frequency distribution
table and histogram.
