SAT Two-Way Tables: The Word "Given" Changes Everything

Two-way table questions look easy, then the word "given" quietly deletes part of the table. This lesson shows the one rule that solves all of them: the condition picks your denominator. Restrict to the row or column the question names, divide by its total, and never touch the grand total. Worked example, the flipped-condition twist, a your-turn problem, and the three traps that cost points.
