ASSESSMENT 1
1. Present the data in a well-organized and well-labeled statistical table.
The following data appeared in the Asian Computer Yearbook 1978-1979, published by the
Computer Publication Ltd. Computer growth during 1978 and 1979 in the ASEAN countries,
namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, was shown in terms of the
growth of the following: installations; computer manufacturers and agents; consultants
programing services, and software houses; and service bureaus.
Among the five countries, the Philippines had the most number of installations, having 196 in
1978 and increasing to 286 in 1979. Indonesia had 15 in 1978 and 102 in 1979;.Malaysia with
70 and 175; Singapore with 98 and 228; Thailand with 75 and 112; totaling to 454 units in 1978
and remarkably increasing to 903 units in 1979. Installations here referred to an in-house
installation which could comprise one or more computers. It did not necessarily indicate a single
computer. The increase in the number of computers was primarily accounted for by new
installations. However in some countries such as Indonesia, the recorded increase in the number
of installations as well as of companies in the computer business was also a function of the
addition of entries which were not recorded in the previous year. Regarding computer
manufacturers and agents, Singapore exhibited the most distinctive increase from 8 in 1978 to
23 in 1979. Indonesia had 6 in 1978 and 13 in 1979; Malaysia with 9 and 12; Philippines with
13 and 19; Thailand with 7 and 14; summing up to a total of 43 computer manufacturers and
agents in 1978 and 81 in 1979. Then, consultants, programing services and software houses
quadrupled during the 2-year period, that is from 8 in 1978 to 32 in 1979. For this case,
Indonesia had 1 in 1978 and 8 in 1979; for Malaysia the number in 1978 could not be determined
since no survey forms were returned but there were 4 in 1979; Philippines had 3 and 7;
Singapore had 2 and 10, and Thailand had 2 and 3. Lastly, the Philippines again had the most
number of service bureaus, 4 in 1978 and 19 in 1979. Indonesia and Malaysia had 1 and 5 each;
Singapore with 3 and 5; Thailand with 2 and 3; totaling to all service bureaus in 1978 and 37 in
1979.

3. Write a brief narrative of the main features of the data portrayed in the graph.
Figure 1
Total Sales of “XXX” Corporations, Year 2007-2018
The figure shows the trend of sales of XXX Corporations year ranging from 2007-2018.
The graph represent an upward or increasing line that indicates the positive growth of
sales. The graph has been clear and precise in stating how much per year was the sale of
the corporation and thus data presented became more accurate and can be defined well.
From 2007 through 2018, this graph depicts XXX Corporation's total sales. The
company's total sales in 2007 were P4 billion. The company's sales are expected to
remain stable and grow in the next years. The company made a total sale of P8 billion in
2011. We can see that the corporation is making a minor development in terms of sales
over the following two years. The company's financial performance improved in 2014,
with total sales reaching P10 billion within the year. A year later, in 2015, the company's
total sales reached around P12 billion, a P2 billion increase over the previous year. The
company struggled a little in 2016, although total revenues increased marginally and did
not go below those of the previous year. In 2017, the company made a total sale of P14
billion, indicating that the year's operations were successful.
