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 read a two-way table?

Back

To read a two-way table, locate the row and column that correspond to the categories of interest, and find the intersection to see the frequency or count.

Front

What does the total in a two-way table represent?

Back

The total in a two-way table represents the sum of all frequencies for a particular category, showing the overall count for that variable.

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 identify patterns or trends.

Front

How can you determine the number of females surveyed from a two-way table?

Back

You can determine the number of females surveyed by adding the frequencies in the row or column that represents females.

Front

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

Back

Marginal frequency refers to the totals found in the margins (rows or columns) of a two-way table, representing the total counts for each category.

Front

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

Back

Conditional frequency is the frequency of a specific category given a condition, often found by dividing the frequency of interest by the total of the relevant row or column.

Front

How do you calculate the difference between two frequencies in a two-way table?

Back

To calculate the difference between two frequencies, subtract one frequency from the other, often used to compare categories.

Front

What is the significance of the intersection in a two-way table?

Back

The intersection in a two-way table shows the frequency count for the combination of the two categories being analyzed.

Front

How can you use a two-way table to make predictions?

Back

You can use a two-way table to make predictions by analyzing the frequencies and identifying trends or relationships between the variables.
