us far we have focused on methods that are used to summarize the data for ne variable at a time.
en a manager is interested in tabular and graphical methods that will help
nderstand the relationship between two variables.
sstabulation is a method for summarizing the data for two variables.

rosstabulation is a tabular summary of data for two variables. sstabulation can be used when:
one variable is categorical and the other is quantitative,
both variables are categorical, or
both variables are quantitative.
left and top margin labels define the classes for the two variables.

Insights Gained from Preceding Crosstabulation
•The greatest number of homes (19) in the sample are a split-level style
and priced at less than $250,000.
•Only three homes in the sample are an A-Frame style and priced at $250,000 or more.

osstabulation: Simpson’s Paradox
a in two or more crosstabulations are often aggregated to produce a ummary crosstabulation.
must be careful in drawing conclusions about the relationship between the
wo variables in the aggregated crosstabulation.
ome cases the conclusions based upon an aggregated crosstabulation can
e completely reversed if we look at the unaggregated data. The reversal of
onclusions based on aggregate and unaggregated data is called Simpson’s aradox.

ghts Gained from the preceding Scatter Diagram
The scatter diagram indicates a positive relationship between the number of
interceptions and the number of points scored.
Higher points scored are associated with a higher number of interceptions.
The relationship is not perfect; all plotted points in the scatter diagram are not on a straight line.
