The table can represent actual results or predicted outcome based on combinations of parameters.
Table 1 attempts to predict best choice of restaurant for a group of friends based on each one's food preferences.
Assuming Mandi and Logan are willing to compromise, clearly Italian food would be the best choice for the group.
Table 2 is simplified example from Mendelian genetics involving controlled breeding of flowers.
If either parent possesses the dominant gene, the table shows the outcome that results.
