Answer
Tabulation is a process of systematic arrangement of qualitative or attribute raw data into rows and / or columns. Its uses are as follows:
Uses of Tabulation:
$(1)$ Represents the extensive data in simple, organised and precise manner.
$(2 )$ Required information can be obtained easily.
$(3 )$ Various characteristics to be compared are placed side by side. Hence comparison becomes easy.
$(4 )$ Row and / or column totals are found, hence errors can be rectified easily.
$(5 )$ Unnecessary information is removed, hence the time, money and labour required for the study of data is saved.
$(6 )$ The analysis of the data becomes simple and convenient.
