Comparison of graphical and tabular formats
| Graphical | Tabular |
|---|---|
| Allows quick assimilation of information | Takes longer to assimilate the data |
| Less precise because there is a limit to the amount of information given | Allows more information to be given so can be more precise |
| Type of presentation depends upon the data | Can be used with any data |
| Good for showing multiple observations on individuals or groups | Ideal for displaying a large number of variables at once |
