§ Graphs • Mode
Main method of conveying information as it is used to explain results and trends, and provide
contextual information.
Data are fundamentally presented in paragraphs or sentences.
For instance, information about the incidence rates of delirium following anesthesia in 2016–2017
can be presented with the use of a few numbers:
¡ “The incidence rate of delirium following anesthesia was 11% in 2016 and 15% in 2017; no significant
difference of incidence rates was found between the two years.”
Convey information that has been converted into words or numbers in rows and
columns.
Tables are the most appropriate for presenting individual information, and can
present both quantitative and qualitative information.
¡ Suppose we ask a sample of 30 teenagers each to tell us how old they are. The list of their ages is shown in Table 5.1
¡ To display discrete or
continuous data in the form
of a frequency distribution,
break down the range of
values of the observations
into a series of distinct,
non-overlapping intervals.

For instance, the following table shows some test scores from a math class.

In a bar chart, the various categories into which the observations fall are
presented along a horizontal axis.
A vertical bar is drawn above each category such that the height of the bar
represents either the frequency or the relative frequency of observations within
that class.
