Male and female students were asked at which location they would most want to vacation. They had the following preferences: Which location would you most like to visit? Aspen, Colorado New York, New York Row totals Male students 0.22 0.28 0.50 Female students 0.16 0.34 0.50 Column totals 0.38 0.62 1 Which of the following is a two-way conditional frequency table for gender?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me make that less confusing real quick

they would most likely to visit NY than colorado

Those are the four tables

@undeadknight26

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

ok then more males will more likely visit colorado than newyork and females will rather visit NY than colorado. does that help or no..............

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kind of I guess...? But I already knew that. I just need to know what table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@undeadknight26? You were here a second ago

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

lol i forgot this stuff..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah... I hate statistics they try to trick you with words, evil words

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tkhunny?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bibby?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@.... anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HourglassMage @princess_hannahleigh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh yay person!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need the totals on the bottom and on the far right. And you need them as fractions/percentages/decimals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C meets the first requirement, but just provides raw data, no ratios. Therefore B is the only viable option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!!! what does the conditional part mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh another person!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

phi...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Conditional? Well that just means that it is privy to a set of changing conditions..variables

OpenStudy (phi):

we need a definition of two-way conditional frequency table for gender

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A two-way table (also called a contingency table) is used to examine relationships between categorical variables. The entries in the cells of a two-way table can be frequency counts or relative frequencies (just like a one-way table ).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking D or B...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

More D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Example: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ByywCuLHDwI/maxresdefault.jpg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D does not give all the column totals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooooh okay thanks that makes more sense now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you just change the decimals to percents?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why not C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because C only provides raw data. No ratios

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it have to be percents? is that what conditional means? Doesn't it already show the ratios?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Based on my understanding yes, that is what they mean by conditional.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No prob. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi @HourglassMage it was wrong what would it be?

OpenStudy (phi):

@~hi good question. I would interpret Which of the following is a two-way conditional frequency table for gender? to mean frequency table for gender given location in other words, adjust things so the columns (the location) sums to 1 that would make it A but I'm guessing on this.
