Example Three: A table
Tables are useful for including exact numeric information into the text of a paper.  The following table is only one of several styles that can be used in a research paper.
This table might be an example of a table used to show the comparitive drop in male students at a local college during a specific year. These facts  could be used to explain why more females graduate at the end of four years than males or married couples.
