DATA PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION
Remember that they are a number of ways in which data maybe presented. In the last item
you learnt about tallies and in the next item you will learn about tables.
Tables
- Presenting data in a table helps to make it clear and easy to read and understand.
- Tables should always have a descriptive heading
- Each column and row should be labelled and can have a unit of measurement representing
all data on the column if applicable. For example;
A table showing the cooling curve of water.
Time (minutes) Temperature (oC)
0 0
3 5
5 10
8 15
9 20
10 30

Remember that data is best recorded in a table. Each table should have a title. A table
