EzraThe answer depends on the amount of data and the audience's preference.
Very large amounts of data usually need to be summarised in some form - even if the detailed data are made available separately. Consult a statistician if necessary.
Tables or charts? I have, over my career as a statistician in the UK Government, worked for one minister who liked graphs but could not handle tabular information and another who was the exact opposite: you could give him masses of tables but graphs just left him cold. Therefore, if you can, find out what your clients prefer.
In general, graphs are better but they need to be good graphs Again, consult a statistician, if required. If a [good] picture is worth a thousand words, a bad graph is worse than a thousand incomprehensible voices muttering together: no information is conveyed and you will simply succeed in annoying the audience.
Finally, at all cost, avoid death by Powerpoint!
