Analysis of Two-Way Tables

We will use two-way tables when all of our variables are categorical.

Sports, Pets & Gender

Cats Dogs Total Male Female Total Cats Dogs Total

Male Basketball Basketball

Female Football Football

Total Total Total

Before looking at the data, answer the following questions:


o Are boys or girls more likely to own cats or dogs?
o Are boys or girls more likely to play basketball or football (American)?
o Who is more likely to own cats, basketball or football players?

Marginal distribution is when we examine the distribution of a single variable in a two-way table.
Conditional distribution is when we condition on the value of one variable and calculate the distribution of
the other variable.

Row Proportion Column Proportion Joint Distribution


Divide by row totals Divide by column totals Divide by total for the distribution
