Question 16 • (AG Q4) Math 8: 25-26 (JTurner)

In May, there were 14 days where the temperature was above 60°F and 17 days when it was below 60°F. There were also 19 days that were sunny. If a two-way table is made to represent the data, which could be the row and column headings?

Answer
A
column: sunny, below 60°F; row: not sunny, above 60°F
B
column: above 60°F, below 60°F; row: sunny, not sunny
C
column: above 60°F, sunny; row: below 60°F, not sunny
D
column: sunny, month; row: not sunny, month

Explanation

A two-way table should compare two variables, with each row or column listing categories of just one variable. Here, temperature has the categories above 60°F and below 60°F, while weather has the categories sunny and not sunny. Choice B keeps those categories grouped correctly; the other choices mix categories from different variables or include the month as a heading.
