In a table, the row headings are called stubs, while the column headings are called captions.

Textual presentation involves describing data using words and paragraphs rather than using tables or graphs.

A complex table, such as a two-way or manifold table, is used to represent two or more variables simultaneously.

Decides divide a distribution into ten equal parts. Therefore, the 4th decile represents the point below which 40 percent of the total values in the dataset fall.

The series provided uses class intervals (10-15, 15-20, etc.), which is the definition of a continuous series.

An individual series lists each observation separately without grouping them into classes or frequencies.

An ordered series (or array) is data arranged in either ascending or descending order of magnitude.

Class mark is the mid point of the class interval.

This is an individual series because it is a simple list of raw data points that have not been grouped into classes or frequencies.

Pie charts, rectangular diagrams, and square diagrams are all two-dimensional representations because they use both length and width to represent data. Multiple bar diagrams are considered one-dimensional because only the height of the bars varies, while the width remains constant.
