In the previous recipe, we tallied the number of male and female staff in the department's dataset. Here, we will use a table to count the number of male and female staff in each department. We will also find the mean of the GPA column.
The descriptive statistics tables within Minitab are found with the Stat menu under the sub menu Tables. This menu also includes cross tabulation and Chi-square statistics.
The following instructions will create a table consisting of the department and gender sections. The table will contain the mean GPA score and the count of observations.

in the Associated variables: section and select Means.The levels of department are used to build rows of a table in the session's window and the Gender
column creates the columns of this table. Summaries of categorical variables can be used to display percentages by the row, column, or by total. The default option here is to count the number of observations.
Numeric columns will be entered into the Associated variables: section and can be summarized with Means, Medians, Sums, and more.
The preceding results show the means of GPA and counts of individuals, classified by gender and department. Multiple summaries can be included in each cell of the table.
