This lesson involves using given bivariate and multivariate categorical data to display bar charts and construct two-way tables.

Objectives

  • Students will represent bivariate categorical data with bar charts and split bar charts.
  • Students will examine and describe patterns in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies in a two-way table.
  • Students will use relative frequencies to identify a possible association between the two variables.

Vocabulary

  • bivariate data
  • categorical data
  • split bar chart
  • two-way tables
