In this lesson you will learn how to construct a two way table by collecting and organizing data from a verbal description.
A two-way table shows data that pertain to two different categories.
A survey of 8th graders at a middle school found that 73 students own a cell phone and 60 of those students also own an MP3 player. There are 9 students that do not own a cell phone, but own an MP3 player. Eight students do not own either device
In this lesson you have learned to how construct a two way table by collecting and organizing data from a verbal description.
A survey was conducted to see if students get an allowance and if they have to do household chores. Of the 12 students that receive no allowance, 5 of them have no chores. There are 17 students who do chores and receive an allowance, while 6 students get an allowance without doing any chores. Construct a two way table to display this data.
Observe the students in your class and create a two way table that displays the combinations on hair color and eye color. The hair color categories are black, brown, red, and blond. The eye color categories are brown, blue, hazel, and green. Please note that this table will be bigger than ones in the lesson.
Make a survey that collects two pieces of categorical data. Ask 10 people and record your data. Use the data to construct a two way table. (Some possible topics: boys/girls who study more/less than 1 hour a night; 7th graders/8thgraers who dress up/ do not dress up for Halloween)
