Exercises: Summarize Categorical Data in Two-Way Frequency Tables
Work through each section in order. Many problems use a two-way frequency table; read it carefully and note the row totals, column totals, and grand total. Before computing any relative frequency, ask "out of whom?" — the denominator is the grand total for joint and marginal frequencies, but a row or column total for a conditional frequency. Express relative frequencies as percents rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent unless told otherwise.

Warm-Up: Reading a Two-Way Table
These problems review reading counts and totals from a two-way frequency table.
1.
A relative frequency is a count divided by a total. For the table above, a student wants "the fraction of ALL surveyed students who prefer online." Which denominator should they divide by?
