Cats Weight

Description:
A researcher was interested in whether animals could be trained to line-dance. He took 200 cats and tried to train them to line-dance by giving them either food or affection as a reward for dance-like behaviour. At the end of the week he counted how many animals could line-dance and how many could not. There are two categorical variables here: training (the animal was trained using either food or affection) and dance (the animal either learnt to line-dance or it did not). By combining categories, we end up with four different categories. For each of those categories, we have the number of occurrences (Frequency).
