Two-Way Tables

Overview

Goal. Read a two-way frequency table, compute joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies, and compare conditional rates to judge association.

Conditional relative frequency (definition). A relative frequency computed within one row or column of a two-way table: the count in a cell divided by that row's (or column's) total.

Two categorical variables in one table: joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies.

Goal. Read a two-way table and compute joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies — and use conditional rates to spot a possible association.

Conditional relative frequency (definition). A relative frequency computed within one row or column of a two-way table: the count in a cell divided by that row's (or column's) total.
