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 relative frequency?

Back

Relative frequency is calculated by dividing the frequency of a specific outcome by the total number of observations, often expressed as a percentage.

Front

What does a segmented bar graph represent?

Back

A segmented bar graph represents the relative frequencies of different categories within a whole, with each segment showing the proportion of each category.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How can you find the total number of observations from a two-way frequency table?

Back

To find the total number of observations, sum all the frequencies in the table.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between frequency and relative frequency?

Back

Frequency refers to the count of occurrences of a specific outcome, while relative frequency is the proportion of that outcome compared to the total number of observations.

Front

How do you interpret a segmented bar graph?

Back

To interpret a segmented bar graph, analyze the size of each segment to understand the proportion of each category relative to the whole.

Front

What is an example of a categorical variable?

Back

An example of a categorical variable is 'favorite color,' which can take on values like red, blue, green, etc.

Front

What does it mean if a two-way frequency table shows a high frequency in one category?

Back

A high frequency in one category indicates that many observations fall into that category, suggesting a strong preference or trend.
