Chapter- 4 statistical table and charts

Statistical table and statistical charts

Statistical table and statistical charts are major descriptive tools, such as the frequency distribution table and frequency distribution graph in chapter two, which are more intuitionistic and also useful to present summary information. So it is widely used when we present the reports or papers.

Tables in reports

Although tables are simple to understand and to produce, careful thought regarding layout is essential to draw attention to the most useful and interesting features of the data. For ease of reference, recommendations are given here in note form.

Title

To summarize the contents that table include.

For example, from the title “the distribution of undergraduate majors”, we can know the table want to describe the undergraduate majors

NOTICE

23/4/20

heading

It includes row heading and column heading. The row heading or label is used to describe the meaning of raw number, and the column heading is used to describe the meaning of column number

NOTICE

23/4/20

Line

Vertical or italic lines should be

avoided because these cluttter the

presentation.

NOTICE

23/4/20

Numbers

The decimal digits should be identical in the same column.The data in one column should arrange trim in the decimal point.When the measurement is 0, we should not omit it but record it.

NOTICE

recommendations

Each table should be self-explanatory . That is to say, the reader should be able to understand it without reference to the text in the body of the report. This can be achieved by using complete, meaningful labels for the rows and columns and giving a complete, meaningful title. Footnotes should be used to enhance the explanation when necessary.

23/4/20

recommendations

Each table should have an attractive

appearance. Sensible use of white

space helps enormously. Different

typefaces or fronts may be used to

provide discrimination, for example,

use of bold type or italics.

23/4/20

recommendations

The rows and columns of each

table should be arranged in a

natural order. This is a great help

in interpretation.

[Usage] the independent data or categorical data

In the bar chart, the bars are drawn of equal width, but the heights are proportional to the percentages. Other possible scales for the vertical axis are the frequencies or relative frequencies, both of which leave the shape of the bar chart unaltered.

[usage] constitutional data

In a pie chart, the area of the slices

are drawn in proportional to the

frequencies by simply dividing the entire

3600 of the circle into separate angles of

the correct relative size.

Attention While drawing a pie chart, one circle

has 3600, so 1% should include 3.60 . Usually we bigin to draw the circle from the position of 12 o’clock. We can use the protractor to measure the angle.

such as height, weight, RBC.

In the histogram, the rectangle are drawn of equal width because the interval width is same, but areas are proportional to the percentages or frequence.

line

[usage] the continuous data

It is used to describe the deveploment trend that one thing changes with the other thing (usually time).

For example, the incidence rate of HIV/AIDS in the past years.

23/4/20

attention

Whether the scale of vertical axis may begin from zero or not, it is right.

The near two point should be linked with breaking line. That is to say, we can not choose smooth line while drawing the line.
