SOCB05H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Line Graph, Scatter Plot
Document Summary
Select the categories in which the raw data can be summarized. Present the data in a form that helps you to draw conclusions. 204: first step in summarizing and presenting data is to construct tables, graphs or charts, but before you can do that, you need to categorize the data. 205: one way of doing this is to look at some of the extreme observations and the averages, this gives you a point for comparison, you could also separate based on strata of observations. 206: once you select categories, you reclassify your raw data into the more inclusive categories, after completing this step, you are now ready to present your research in a table. In order to put the appropriate numbers in your table, you need to cross- tabulate your data. In the aforementioned chi-square table, you should have all your sample contained within the table.
