Survey outcomes can be exhibited using both frequencies and percentages by presenting the number of responses for each category of the survey question as a frequency distribution table and then converting these numbers into percentages.
For example, if 100 people were surveyed on their favorite color and the results are as follows:
Red - 25 Blue - 45 Green - 20 Yellow - 10
The frequency distribution table will look like this:
Color | Frequency -------|------------ Red | 25 Blue | 45 Green | 20 Yellow | 10
To present these results as percentages, divide each frequency by the total number of responses (100) and multiply by 100. This will give you the percentage of responses for each category.
Color | Frequency | Percentage -------|------------|------------- Red | 25 | 25% Blue | 45 | 45% Green | 20 | 20% Yellow | 10 | 10%
By presenting data in both frequencies and percentages, it allows viewers to quickly grasp the distribution of responses and understand the percentages of responses for each category.
