Two-way frequency tables are a visual representation of the possible relationships between two sets of categorical data. The categories are labeled at the top and the left side of the table, with the frequency (count) information appearing in the four (or more) interior cells of the table. The "totals" of each row appear at the right, and the "totals" of each column appear at the bottom.

Note: the "sum of the row totals" equals the "sum of the column totals" (the 240 seen in the lower right corner). This value (240) is also the sum of all of the counts from the interior cells.
