Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site and currently expect this to be in June 2024
but we are reviewing this timing due to the large volume of content to move and
improvements needed to make it easier to find different types of content on
Tāhūrangi.
We will update this message again shortly.

A table in which the rows represent the categories for one category variable, the columns represent the categories of a second category variable and each cell displays the frequency (or proportion) resulting for that row and column combination for the two variables.
Example
Data were collected from answers to an online questionnaire from 727 students enrolled in an introductory Statistics course at the University of Auckland. Two of the variables of interest are the gender of the student and the course in which they which they were enrolled (STATS 101, STATS 102 or STATS 108). The following two-way table was formed by counting the number of students falling into each combination of categories of the two variables.
Alternative: contingency table
