For example, Ananya is organising a study night with her friends and wants to ensure that the
snacks and drinks she provides will be enjoyed by everyone. To make an informed decision, she
decided to ask her friends about their snack and drink preferences and record the data.

After asking each friend, here are their snack and drink preferences:
 Riya: Prefers pizza and a glass of juice.

 Aarav: Likes burger and a bottle of cold drink.
 Meera: Prefers sandwich and a glass of fresh juice.

 Diya: Prefers cake and a glass of milkshake.
After collecting the data, table created as shown:

Friend Snack Drink

Riya Pizza Juice

Aarav Burger Cold Drink

Meera Sandwich Fresh Juice

Kabir Pizza Soda

Diya Cake Milkshake

This table helps Ananya make an informed decision about what snacks and drinks to provide at
the study night.

Let’s see one more example. Neha runs a small dosa cart and wants to keep a record of her daily
sales. She uses a table to organise the data clearly, which helps her track the number of dosas
sold each day.

Day Plain Dosa Masala Dosa Total Sold

Monday 25 30 55

Tuesday 20 28 48

Wednesday 22 35 57
Thursday 18 27 45

By organising the data this way, Neha can easily monitor the sales of both plain and masala

dosas and calculate the total number sold each day. This helps her understand which days are
busier and plan her inventory accordingly.
