Identify and discuss the general rules for percentaging a table.
What will be an ideal response?
? Choose a title for the table on the basis of knowledge of the dependent variable (denoted by Y) and independent variable(s) (denoted by X). Recall that the dependent variable is the outcome the researcher wishes to predict, whereas the independent variable(s) is the predictor. The title should read: Dependent Variable by Independent Variable(s) (Y by X). Although not pertinent to our concern with percentaging, the table should also contain as much additional information as is necessary to enable the reader to understand the source of data, units being measured, and the like.
? Keep in mind the need for fair comparisons if uneven-size groups are to be contrasted. The larger group is likely to exhibit the greatest amount of any condition and the smallest group the least amount, unless the comparison is made within rather than between groups.
? Always percentage within the independent variable rather than the dependent variable. This controls for problems created by comparing unequal-size groups.
? When doubt exists regarding the direction of proper percentaging, filling in the appropriate variables in the following question may be of assistance: What percentage of the independent variable ______ is a category of the dependent variable ______?
