what are the two principle parts of table?!

Answer 1

Answer:

Main Parts of a Table—The structure of a statistical table can be identified as :

(1) Title of the table : A title is a brief explanation of the contents of a table. It explains what the f data in the table is about, the place and the period to which the data relates. A title should be brief and should be placed in a prominent place, usually below the table number

(2) Table number : When there are many tables then these tables should be numbered in a logical sequence. The number of the table can be used for reference. Normally the number is placed on the top of the title such that it comes in the centre of the title.

(3) Captions : A word or a phrase which explains the contents of a column of a table is called the caption. A caption should be placed at the middle of the column. Under a caption there may be sub-heads. When the items in different columns are expressed in different units of measurement, the corresponding unit should be mentioned with the captions.

(4) Stubs : As captions explain the contents of column, the stubs explain the contents of a row. Thus, stubs are the designations of the rows.

(5) Body of the table : The body of the table is the most important part of the table. The data is arranged in this part according to the description given by the captions and stubs.
