Two-Way Frequency Tables

Front

What is a two-way frequency table?

Back

A two-way frequency table is a statistical tool that displays the frequency of different outcomes in 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 frequency table?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'frequency' mean in the context of a two-way frequency table?

Back

Frequency refers to the number of times a particular outcome occurs in the data set.

Front

How can you determine the percentage of a specific category in a two-way frequency table?

Back

To find the percentage, divide the frequency of the specific category by the total number of observations and multiply by 100.

Front

What is the purpose of using a two-way frequency table?

Back

The purpose is to organize data to easily see the relationship between two categorical variables and to facilitate comparison.

Front

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

Back

Each cell in the table represents the frequency of occurrences for the corresponding categories of the two variables.

Front

What is the difference between marginal frequency and joint frequency?

Back

Marginal frequency refers to the totals for each category in a single variable, while joint frequency refers to the frequency of occurrences for specific combinations of categories from both variables.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Conditional frequency is the frequency of a category given a specific condition or category of the other variable.

Front

How do you calculate the conditional percentage in a two-way frequency table?

Back

To calculate the conditional percentage, divide the conditional frequency by the total frequency of the condition and multiply by 100.
