Front

What is a two-way table?

Back

A two-way table is a statistical table that displays the frequency distribution of two categorical variables, allowing for the analysis of the relationship between them.

How do you calculate the total number of observations in a two-way table?

Back

To calculate the total number of observations, sum all the frequencies in the table.

Front

What does each cell in a two-way table represent?

Back

Each cell in a two-way table represents the frequency count of occurrences for the combination of the two categorical variables.

Front

What is the purpose of a two-way table?

Back

The purpose of a two-way table is to organize data to analyze the relationship between two categorical variables and to facilitate comparisons.

Front

How can you determine the marginal totals in a two-way table?

Back

Marginal totals are found by summing the frequencies across each row and each column of the table.

Front

What is a joint frequency in a two-way table?

Back

Joint frequency refers to the count of occurrences for a specific combination of the two categorical variables.

Front

What is a marginal frequency in a two-way table?

Back

Marginal frequency is the total count of occurrences for one of the categorical variables, found by summing the joint frequencies in the corresponding row or column.

Front

How can you identify the most popular category in a two-way table?

Back

To identify the most popular category, look for the highest joint frequency in the table.

Front

What is the relationship between two categorical variables in a two-way table?

Back

The relationship can be analyzed by comparing joint frequencies and marginal frequencies to see if one variable influences the other.

Front

How do you interpret the data in a two-way table?

Back

Data in a two-way table can be interpreted by examining the frequencies to understand patterns, trends, and relationships between the two variables.
