Two-way frequency tables worksheet for Statistics
A two-way table counts two things at once. Every row and column adds to its total, which is how a missing cell is found. A relative frequency divides a cell by the grand total; a conditional one divides by the total of just the row or column it sits in.
Also taught in Algebra 2, Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1, each at its own level and with its own examples.
