This chapter deals with the analysis and interpretation of data collected for the present study. The
data has been analyzed using tables, percentages, charts, and diagrams to draw meaningful
conclusions.
4.2 Interpretation of Table / Chart (Main Part)
For each table or graph, follow this 3-step formula:
Step 1: Table Number & Title
Always mention the table number.
Example:
Table 4.1 shows the age-wise distribution of respondents.
Step 2: Key Observations (Facts)
Mention important numbers only (highest, lowest, majority).
Example:
From the above table, it is observed that 45% of respondents belong to the age group of 21–30
years, followed by 30% in the age group of 31–40 years. Only 10% of respondents are above
50 years.
Step 3: Interpretation (Meaning)
Explain what it implies.
Example:
This indicates that the company’s products are more popular among younger customers,
suggesting strong demand from the working-age population.
Complete Sample Interpretation
Table 4.1 shows the age-wise distribution of respondents. It is observed that the majority of
respondents (45%) fall in the age group of 21–30 years, followed by 30% in the age group of 31–
40 years. A smaller proportion of respondents (10%) are above 50 years. This indicates that the
company’s services are largely preferred by younger customers.
