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 find the total frequency in a two-way frequency table?

Back

To find the total frequency, sum all the frequencies in the table, including the marginal totals for each category.

Front

What does the term 'marginal frequency' mean?

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

How can you calculate the percentage from a frequency in a two-way table?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if two variables are independent in a two-way frequency table?

Back

If two variables are independent, the frequency of one variable does not affect the frequency of the other variable.

Front

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

Back

Interpretation involves analyzing the frequencies and percentages to understand the relationship and trends between the two variables.

Front

What is a conditional frequency?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the total row and column in a two-way frequency table?

Back

The total row and column provide the overall counts for each category, helping to summarize the data.
