A two-way frequency table is used to approximate conditional probabilities 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 means that to find the conditional probability of one event given another, you take the frequency count corresponding to the category of interest and divide it by the total number of occurrences of the given condition from the table.
