Question

If the data is organized in a table with two types of variables, what is that table called?

• A. Frequency table
• B. Two- way table

Answer 1

The correct option is B Two- way table

When data is organized in a table with $2$ types of variables, it is called two- way table.

For example: Take a look at the table that provides information on different numbers of products available in two different stores.


Here, two variables are represented, i.e., shops and items, and this table is known as a two-way table.

On the other hand, a frequency table is a table that lists items and shows the number of times the item occurs.

For example, the number of different items present in a particular shop is represented as,


This table is known as frequency table.

So, option (b) is correct.
