The word Statistics is very popularly used in practice. It conveys a variety of meanings to people many of which are inaccurate or, at the very least, misleading.
The average person conceives of `statistics’ as column of figures, zigzag graphs or tables like statistics of production, conscription, per capita income, imports, exports, crimes, divorce, share prices.
Webster defined statistics as “the classified facts respecting the condition of the people in a State especially those facts which can be stated in numbers or in tables o, numbers or in any tabular or classified arrangement” (Business Statistics: 3).
Tabulation:
Tabulation is the process of condensation. It is the systematic and orderly presentation of classified data in a definite form so as to elucidate the characteristics of the data. In statistical tables the numerical information is presented in such a form that the information so presented turns to be readily understandable. Tables are designed to summaries facts revealed by enquiry and to present them in such a way that all the important factors contained in the data under review are displayed. Tables tend to simplify the presentation and facilitate comparison between related facts. Tabular presentation takes the form of arranging statistical date in columns and rows. The idea of a table will be clear if we look to the different parts of a table.
Construction of a table:
The preparation of a good table is an art. The purpose of tabulation must always be kept in mind before the preparation of a statistical table. A good statistical table must contain at least the following components.
1. Table number: A table should always be numbered for easy identification and reference in future
2. Title of the table: A table mu8st have a suitable title. Title is the description of the contents of the table. So the title should be clear, brief and self-explanatory.
3. Caption: Caption refers to the column headings. It explains what the column represents. A caption should be brief, concise and self-explanatory. Captions are usually written in the middle of the columns in small letters to economies space.
4. Stubs: These refer to the headings of horizontal rows. They are at the extreme left.
5. Body: The body of the table contains the numerical information. This is the most vital part of the table. Data presented in the body arranged according to descriptions are classifications of the captions and stubs.
