3.7.3. Tabulation
According to Selltiz et al. (1965: 406-407), tabulation refers
to the part of technical process on statistical analysis of data that involves
counting to determine the number cases that fall into various categories. Thus
after eliminating errors, codes were assigned to each answer. This stage led to
the construction of statistical tables showing frequency distribution of
answers to questions addressed to respondents.
The statistical tables were used to compare the number of
occurrences of each answer to questions asked. Up to this level, it was through
mathematical and statistical tables that the number of occurrence of each
answer in relation to the questions asked was converted into percentages which
made it clear. Each table was accompanied by explanations about the nature of
relationship between the variables that were indicated in tables.
