Two-way frequency tables worksheet for Algebra 2
Algebra 2 uses two-way tables as the bridge to conditional probability: the fraction of one row or column is P(A given B), and comparing those row percents decides whether two variables are associated. Fill any missing cells from the totals first, then choose the right denominator for each question.
Also taught in Statistics, Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1, each at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these
Is there an association? Compare each row's percent who own a phone.
- Juniors: 18 out of 30 is 60%.
- Seniors: 32 out of 40 is 80%.
- The percents differ, so phone ownership is associated with class.
The answer is Yes: of Juniors and of Seniors.
Where students go wrong
Comparing raw counts to judge association. More Seniors own phones partly because there are more Seniors; only the row percents, 60% and 80%, can be compared fairly.
Also called two-way tables, relative frequency, conditional relative frequency or joint and marginal frequency.
