Displaying Data

Data can be displayed in various ways. Your choice of display should be determined by two factors:

1) The nature of the data to be displayed: is it continuous, categorical or discrete data?

2) For what purpose are you displaying the data? Would it be suited by a table or would you need a graph or chart? Are you comparing actual numbers or proportion?
