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 percentage from a two-way frequency table?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if a two-way frequency table shows a high frequency in a specific cell?

Back

A high frequency in a specific cell indicates that there is a strong association between the two categorical variables represented in that cell.

Front

How can you determine the least popular category in a two-way frequency table?

Back

To determine the least popular category, compare the frequencies of each category and identify the one with the lowest frequency.

Front

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

Back

Percentages help to understand the proportion of each category relative to the total, making it easier to compare different categories.

Front

How do you find the number of individuals in a specific category from a two-way frequency table?

Back

You can find the number of individuals in a specific category by looking at the corresponding cell in the table that represents that category.

What is the significance of the marginal totals in a two-way frequency table?

Back

Marginal totals provide the sums of the rows and columns, giving insight into the overall distribution of each variable.

Front

How can you use a two-way frequency table to answer application-based questions?

Back

You can analyze the frequencies and percentages to draw conclusions about relationships between variables and answer specific questions.

Front

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

Back

A conditional frequency is the frequency of a category given a specific condition, often calculated by dividing the frequency of a cell by the total of its row or column.

Front

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

Back

Interpreting data involves analyzing the frequencies and percentages to understand trends, relationships, and patterns between the two categorical variables.
