How do you calculate the percentage of a category in a two-way table?

Back

To calculate the percentage of a category, divide the frequency of that 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 (rows and columns) of a two-way table, representing the total counts for each category.

Front

What is 'joint frequency' in a two-way table?

Back

Joint frequency is the count of occurrences for a specific combination of categories in a two-way table.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of a two-way table?

Back

The purpose of a two-way table is to organize and summarize data to analyze the relationship between two categorical variables.

Front

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

Back

To interpret data in a two-way table, look at the joint frequencies to understand the relationship between the two variables and use marginal frequencies to see overall totals.

Front

What is the difference between a two-way table and a one-way table?

Back

A one-way table displays the frequency of a single categorical variable, while a two-way table displays the relationship between two categorical variables.

Front

How can you use a two-way table to answer questions about percentages?

Back

You can use a two-way table to find percentages by calculating the proportion of a specific category relative to the total or to another category.

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

Back

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