This document discusses various methods for summarizing and presenting data, including: - Frequency distributions to summarize qualitative and quantitative data using tables. - Graphical representations like bar graphs, pie charts, dot plots, histograms and ogives to visualize patterns in the data. - Cross tabulations and scatter diagrams to understand relationships between two variables. Examples using data from hotels, auto repair shops, and football are provided to illustrate each method. The goal is to gain insights from the data that cannot be seen from the raw numbers alone.
