To approximate conditional probabilities using a two-way frequency table, the correct method is:

by writing the ratio of the intersection of the two conditions with the given condition in the denominator and the preference in the numerator.

This approach helps to find the probability of one event occurring given that another event has occurred by looking at the relevant counts in the table.
