2 way table

Two-Way Table

Do you believe in Martians? Here is a survey of 100 college students asking that very question: Do you believe in Martians?

Gender	Yes	No
Male	10	32
Female	38	20
Total	48	52

This type of table is called a two-way or contingency table.

A two-way or contingency table is a statistical table that shows the observed number or frequency for two variables, the rows indicating one category and the columns indicating the other category. The row category in this example is gender - male or female. The column category is their choice, yes or no.

There is a lot of information we can learn from this small table. Let's look at a couple questions you could see on a test.

How many males were asked? Let's look across the male row. Ten said 'yes' and 32 said 'no.' That would be a total of 42 males.

How many college students believe in Martians? Look down the Yes column. Ten males and 38 females said 'yes.' That would be a total of 48 college students.

Example #2

A recent survey of 100 college students asked if they prefer to drink tea, coffee, or an energy drink during finals week. Here is the table created from that survey.

Gender	Tea	Coffee	Energy Drink
Male	2	15	39
Female	18	20	6
Total	20	35	45

Let's look at a couple questions you could see on a test.

How many college students drink tea given that they are a female? In this question, we're looking for tea drinkers that are female. Let's look at the female row and tea column. The answer is 18.

How many students drink tea or are male? In this question, we're looking for all tea drinkers united with all males. To figure out the answer, let's highlight the Tea column and Male row. We do have an overlap at Tea and Male, so be sure not to add that twice. So our answer is Total Tea drinkers 20 plus Total Males 56 minus the overlap of 2. 20 + 56 - 2 = 74. There are 74 students that are tea drinkers or male.
