EXAMPLE 6 Working with tabular data
Table 8 is a crosstabulation showing the SAT Writing exam score for females and males in 2014. Note that the data are not presented in raw form, such as the automobiles in Table 6. Instead, the frequencies for each cell have been presented. Use Table 8 to construct the following:
SAT Writing score | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Gender | 200–390 | 400–590 | 600–800 | Total |
Female | 169,314 | 550,172 | 164,469 | 883,955 |
Male | 178,606 | 464,949 | 132,537 | 776,092 |
Total | 347,920 | 1,015,121 | 297,006 | 1,660,047 |
Solution
Gender | Frequency |

Female | 883,955 |
Male | 776,092 |
