This is part of a full course on biostatistics. we have in the previous study session described the various methods of data collection for any statistical inquiry. Unfortunately, the data collected in any statistical investigation is known as raw data and also voluminous and usually unwieldy and incomprehensible. So having collected and edited the data the next important step is to organize it so as to present it in a really comprehensible and condensed form which will highlight the important characteristics of the data and facilitate comparisons. In this short lecture, I describe the meaning of a table, the uses of tables, the advantages of a table, the different types of tables, and how tables can be used in statistics.
This lecture introduces the basic concept of data presentation by explaining the tabular method of data presentation. The next lecture is going to feature how to construct tables by hand and subsequent lectures would cover how to construct tables using computer software.
