Summary/Abstract: The objective of the study is the statistical analysis of the data referring to reading comprehension. Creating the database is to identify the research variables and introduce the data into computer generally derived from the questionnaires. To facilitate data entry and limit the likelihood of errors in data encoding is done usually by associating numerical symbols for each choice. This coding depends much on the type of scale used. For these reasons, the coding of responses in this work is approached in parallel with the input into the computer. After the data were collected they should be organized. These procedures can be done in numerical form, or tabular form. Absolute frequency distribution tables allows us to identify shared values as a variable. After mathematical-statistical processing the data, the focus was on research by analysis on contingency tables. This paper describes the basics of theory and practical applications of contingency table.
