Question

the lunch coordinator is recording the drink choices of the students in her school. she has partially completed the table. which describes the variables in the two - way table?

	milk	water	total
boys	41		93
total

• gender and number who chose milk
• gender and drink choice
• number who chose milk and number of boys
• number who chose milk and total students

Explanation:

A two - way table shows the relationship between two categorical variables. In this table, one variable is gender (with categories Girls and Boys), and the other variable is drink choice (with categories Milk and Water). The first option focuses only on gender and the number who chose milk, which is not the two variables of the table. The third option focuses on the number who chose milk and the number of boys, which are not the two main categorical variables. The fourth option focuses on the number who chose milk and total students, which are not the two categorical variables of the table. Only the option "gender and drink choice" correctly identifies the two variables in the two - way table.

Answer:

B. gender and drink choice
