Example 1
Contingency Table from Echinacea ExperimentTable 11-6 is a contingency table with two rows and three columns. The cells of the table contain frequencies. The row variable identifies whether the subjects became infected, and the column variable identifies the treatment group (placebo, 20% extract group, or 60% extract group).
