Tabulation is the systematic arrangement of statistical data in columns or rows to help explain problems under consideration. It prepares data for analysis and interpretation. There are different types of tabulation including one-way, two-way, three-way, and cross tabulation. Higher order tables provide information on multiple interrelated questions. Care must be taken in deciding tabulation methods based on the investigation scope and choosing clear, exhaustive, and mutually exclusive categories.

3.  Tabulation is the systematic arrangement of
the statistical data in columns or rows. It
involves the orderly and systematic
presentation of numerical data in a form
designed to explain the problem under
consideration. Tabulation helps in drawing
the inference from the statistical figures.

4.  Tabulation prepares the ground for analysis
and interpretation.
 a suitable method must be decided carefully
taking into account the scope and objects of
the investigation, because it is very important
part of the statistical methods.

5.  The table should be self-explanatory and easy to understand
 Each table should have a title which should be written above the
tables. The title should preferable be in block letters.
 If the data is very large, it should not be put in a single table,
because it would increase the chances of mistakes
 Categories should be mutually exclusive
 Grouping of similar response if set of responses are found
 Exhaustive responses it is desirable to construct set of responses
for any issues

7.  When no of sample survey is not large the
tabulation by hand is prefer
No of book read Freqency
0 111111111 9
1 1111111111111111 16
2 1111111111 10
3 11111 5
40

8.  When the no of variable involved is large as
which there may be several relationship and
sample size.(punch card type machine used)
The relation b/w economic status and no of movies seen

mutually dependent questions

12.  Cross tabulation is a tool that allows you
compare the relationship between two
variables.

Males 43 9 52
Females 44 4 48
Totals 87 13 100

13.  Higher order tables are those which provide
information about a large number of inter
related questions. Higher order tables may be
of four-way, five-way, six-way etc. Such kind
of tables are called manifold tables.
