2x2 contingency tables

If you decided to conduct your Web offer study using a sample size of 400 visitors, you might observe the following response totals (joined=y) for the two levels of your IMAGE and TEXT factors (or, your four factorially constructed ad banner versions):

Table 2. Tabular summary of Web offer results

		TEXT
		*short*	*long*	sum
IMAGE	*person*	2	8	10
IMAGE	*product*	6	2	8
	sum	8	10	18

Table 2 is called a 2x2 contingency table and you will learn how to simulate and analyze the count data appearing in it.
