Textual Method
The reader acquires information through reading the gathered data.
Tabular Method
Provides a more precise, systematic and orderly presentation of data in rows or columns.
Semi-tabular Method
Uses both textual and tabular methods.
Graphical Method
The utilization of graphs is most effective method of visually presenting statistical results or findings.
