Practice constructing a bivariate table. Use Table 9.1 to create a percentage bivariate table. Compare your table with Table 9.3. Did you remember all the parts? Are your calculations correct? If not, go back and review this section. It might be helpful to examine A Closer Look 9.1 below. It illustrates the process of constructing and percentaging bivariate tables. Remember, you must correctly identify the independent variable so that you know whether to percentage across the rows or down the columns.
