| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The process of breaking up the whole study into its constituent parts of categories according to the specific questions under the statement of the problem. Usually precedes presentation. | Analysis |
| Classification of Data: | Qualitative, Quantitative, Geographical, Chronological |
| Those having the same quality or are of the same kind are grouped together. | Qualitative |
| Data are grouped according to their quantity. | Quantitative |
| Data may be classified according to their location. | Geographical |
| Data are classified according to the order of their occurrence. | Chronological |
| One main purposes of analysing research data: | To form inferences, interpretations, conclusions, and/or generalizations from the collected data. |
| A contraction of tally and diagram. | Talligram |
| The process of organizing data into logical, sequential, and meaningful categories and classifications to make them amenable to study and interpretation. | Presentation |
| Uses statements with numerals or numbers to describe data. | Textual presentation |
| The main aim is to focus attention to some important data and to supplement tabular presentation. | Textual presentation |
| Defined as a systematic arrangement of related data in which classes of numerical facts or data are given each a row | Statistical Table |
| To facilitate the study and interpretation, the making of inferences and implications of the relationships of statistical data. | Purpose of a Table |
| This is written below the title and is usually enclosed in parenthesis. | Headnote or Preferatory Note |
| Each table should have a number, preferably in Arabic for reference purposes. | Table Number |
| Contains the stub head and the row labels. | Stub |
| Contains the master caption, the column captions, and the column subcaptions. | Box Head |
| Describes the column captions and column captions in turn describe the subcolumn captions. | Master captions |
| Consist all the quantitative and/or proportional information presented in the table in rows and in columns. | Main body, field or text |
| Appears immediately below the bottom line of the table explains, qualifies or clarifies some items in the table which not readily understandable or are missing. | Footnote |
| Generally written below the footnote indicates the origin or source of the data presented in the table. | Source note |
| These three terms are used interchangeably. | Implication, Inference, Interpretation |
| A chart representing the quantitative variations or changes of variable itself, or quantitative changes of a variable in comparison with those of another variable or variables in pictorial or diagrammatic form. | Graph |
| To present the variations, changes, and relationships of data in most attractive, appealing, effective and convincing way. | Purpose of graphing |
| Often used for the graphic presentation of data. | Bar Graphs |
| The bars are constructed vertically and they portray the magnitudes off the categories into which data have been classified. | Single Vertical Bar Graph |
| The bars are constructed horizontally and are used to compare magnitudes of the different categories into which the data are classified. Usually used to compare magnitudes of categories. | Single Horizontal Bar Graph |
| Used in comparing two or more categories of a variable during a specified period or over successive periods of time when subgroups of the categories have common attributes. | Grouped or Multiple or Composite Graphs |
| Used to present data in the form of assets, profits, and positive numbers, liabilities, losses and negative numbers. | Duo-directional or Bilateral Bar Graph |
| Used to show the variations or changes of the component parts of a whole and the whole itself. | Subdivided or Component Bar Graph |
| Composed of bars placed side by side whose heights indicate the magnitudes of their respective classes or categories. | Histogram |
| Good devices to show variations of values over successive period of time. | Linear Graphs |
| Depict the variations of a variable over a period of time. | Time Series Linear Charts (Single line) |
| Used when comparisons are made between or among categories of the same variable or variations of two or more variables over periods of time. | Time Series Composite or Multilinear Charts |
| Used to graph class or grouped frequency distributions. | Frequency Polygon |
| Used to graph cumulative frequencies, either cumulative frequencies upward or downward. | Ogive |
| A form of line graph of the time series variety. It shows the proportional variations of the component parts of a whole over a period of time. | Band Chart |
| Shows the comparison of the proportional sizes of the component parts that make up the whole, the whole being made equivalent to 100%. | One Hundred Per Cent Graphs or Charts |
| The bar is usually erected vertically and the whole height is equivalent to 100%. | 100% Bar Graph or Rectangular Chart |
| Has the same principles and functions as the rectangular chart. | Pie Chart or Circle Graph |
| Used to portray data by means of pictures or symbols. Its only purpose is to make comparison of magnitude more vivid and clear. | Pictogram |
| A special type of map in which the variation in quantity of a factor such as rainfall, population, or crops in a geographic area is indicated; a dot map is one type. | Statistical Map |
| Visually powerful way to see relationships and trends between two different sets of time series data. | Ratio Charts |
| Implications of the findings: | 1. Existence of a condition 2. The probable cause of condition 3. The probable effect of the condition 4. The entry or area involved or affected |
