Answer to Question 1

d
RATIONALE: A useful type of table for describing data of two variables is a crosstabulation, which provides a tabular summary of data for two variables. Quality ratings are an example of categorical data, and meal prices are an example of quantitative data. A crosstabulation in Microsoft Excel is known as a PivotTable. PivotTables in Excel are interactive, and may be used to display statistics other than a simple count of items.

Answer to Question 2

c
RATIONALE: Tables should be used when the reader needs to refer to specific numerical values, when the reader needs to make precise comparisons between different values and not just relative comparisons, and when the values being displayed have different units or very different magnitudes.
