A contingency table can be used to depict the relationship between a pair of categorical (i.e., nominal or ordinal) variables. A contingency table is simply a two-way frequency distribution or cross-tabulation of two variables. Pearson's r is used to describe the relationship between two interval- or ratio-level variables and is the correlation coefficient that is reported most frequently in the research literature.
