Question on Creating Effective Tables

Which one of the following definitions fits the Bivariate type of tables?

  1. Tables showing information on each variable alone rather than associations among variables.
  2. Tables showing the relationship between two variables.
  3. Tables presenting information on associations among three variables or sets of related variables.
  4. Both B and C fall under the Bivariate table type.


















Answer: B

Tables showing information on each variable alone rather than associations among variables are called Univariate Tables.

Tables showing the relationship between two variables are Bivariate.

Tables presenting information on associations among three variables or sets of related variables are Three-Way Tables.

Because B and C have their own definitions they don’t fit into a single category.
