Pie diagrams are used to show percentage breakdowns for qualitative data
because they represent parts of a whole, where each slice of the pie is
proportional to the frequency or percentage of a category.
The two main methods of presenting the data are:
Tabular presentation: This involves arranging data in rows and columns to
organize and simplify information, facilitate comparisons, and aid analysis. The
types described in your query (master table, simple table, frequency
distribution table) are all forms of tabulation.
Graphical presentation: This method uses visual formats such as histograms, bar
charts, line graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots to present data. Graphical
displays are effective for showing trends and patterns at a glance.
