Question

mr. cho made a two - way table to describe members of his family. which could describe the row and column headings for mr. chos table?

• whether the relative was born in korea; whether the relative speaks korean
• whether the relative was born in korea; what their favorite korean meal is
• what city in korea is their favorite; whether the relative speaks korean
• what city in korea is their favorite; what their favorite korean meal is

Explanation:

A two - way table is used to display the frequency distribution of two categorical variables. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: "whether the relative was born in Korea" (a yes - no categorical variable) and "whether the relative speaks Korean" (a yes - no categorical variable) are both categorical variables, so they can be used as row and column headings for a two - way table.
• Option 2: "whether the relative was born in Korea" (categorical) and "what their favorite Korean meal is" (categorical, but it has multiple non - binary categories). However, the first variable is binary and the second is non - binary, but more importantly, a two - way table for family members can work with these, but let's check other options. But the first variable in option 1 is more suitable as a binary variable paired with another binary variable.
• Option 3: "what city in Korea is their favorite" (has multiple categories, not binary) and "whether the relative speaks Korean" (binary). The first variable has too many categories to be easily represented in a two - way table with a binary variable.
• Option 4: "what city in Korea is their favorite" (multiple categories) and "what their favorite Korean meal is" (multiple categories). A two - way table with two multi - category variables is more complex and not the best fit for describing family members in a simple two - way table as compared to option 1.

So the best option is the first one.

Answer:

A. whether the relative was born in Korea; whether the relative speaks Korean
