What does each cell in a two-way table represent?

Back

Each cell in a two-way table represents the frequency count of occurrences for the corresponding categories of the two variables.

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

Back

The totals in the margins of a two-way table provide the overall counts for each category, helping to understand the distribution of data.

Front

How can you use a two-way table to compare different categories?

Back

You can use a two-way table to compare different categories by analyzing the frequencies in the cells and observing how they relate to each other.
