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.

Front

How do you calculate the percentage from a frequency table?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is a conditional frequency?

Back

Conditional frequency is the frequency of a specific category given a condition, often found by dividing the frequency of the intersection by the total of the condition.

Front

How can you find the total number of respondents in a two-way frequency table?

Back

The total number of respondents can be found by summing all the frequencies in the table.

Front

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

Back

The purpose is to analyze the relationship between two categorical variables and to summarize data for easier interpretation.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating the percentage of a specific category in a two-way table?

Back

Percentage = (Frequency of specific category / Total frequency) x 100.

Front

What is the difference between joint frequency and marginal frequency?

Back

Joint frequency refers to the frequency of occurrences for a specific combination of categories, while marginal frequency refers to the total counts for each category.

Front

How do you determine the percentage of a subgroup in a two-way frequency table?

Back

To determine the percentage of a subgroup, divide the frequency of that subgroup by the total frequency of the relevant category and multiply by 100.
