Question

What are different types of tables?

Answer 1

Hint: Statistical tables can be classified under two general categories namely general tables and the summary tables and the summary tables are also known as the interpretative tables.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Basically the statistical tables are the tables which show the values of the cumulative distribution frequency, probability functions or the probability density function of certain common distribution for different values of their parameter or generally to know whether the given statistical result exceeds the required significant level.
So basically statistical tables are of the two categories which are general and the summary tables. So the general table contains the collection of the detailed information including all that is relevant to the topic or theme. The main purpose or aim of this table is to present all the information available on the certain problem at one place for easy reference and they are usually placed in the appendices of reports.
Summary tables are designed to serve some specific purposes. They serve only some specific functions. They are smaller in size than the general tables, emphasize on the smaller aspect of data and are generally incorporated within the data. The summary tables are also called the derivative tables because they are derived from the general tables. The information contained in the summary tables aim at analysis and inference. Hence they are known as interpretative tables.
So the main goal of the summary table is to minimise the numerical information, prepare the table so that it stands on its own. And also if possible it summarises the findings in the term of the effect size. How the effect size is judged should be clear in the text and not dependent on any type of the statistical data.
For example: summarise the effect of the sizes associated with the hypothesis by the gender regarding the change in the viewing violent video games.

hypothesis	Gender (boy)	Gender(girl)
Viewing increase largely from the age ${\text{8 to 13}}$	Small	Large
Viewing reach maximum at age $13$	Large	Small
Parental control reduces.	Small	No
Parental support reduces.	Strong	Strong

This is the example of the summary tables.

Note: The statistical tables may be further classified into two broad categories namely simple and the complex tables. Simple table summarises information on the single characteristic and is also called the univariate table.
