Extract

This chapter covers how to develop and interpret statistical tables and cross-tabulations. We begin by exploring the basic structure and components of tables starting with univariate tables. We then describe how to develop and interpret bivariate tables and introduce multivariate tables. Finally, we conclude the chapter with general recommendations about table design and how best to communicate statistical information in table form.
