Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A contingency table is a table that summarizes the counts or relative frequencies of two categorical variables. Therefore, choice B is true. Choice A is false because not all calculations are permitted on nominal data because they lack quantitative properties such as order and arithmetic operations. Choice C is false because bivariate refers to the relationship between two variables, not just the distribution of one variable. Choice D is false because a contingency table is specifically used for two nominal variables.
