library(scales)data("HairEyeColor")The Hair x Eye table comes from a survey of students at the University of Delaware reported by Snee (1974). The split by Sex was added by Friendly (1992a) for didactic purposes.
This data set is useful for illustrating various techniques for the analysis of contingency tables, such as the standard chi-squared test or, more generally, log-linear modelling, and graphical methods such as mosaic plots, sieve diagrams or association plots.

With the categorical variables, we usually want to calculate the frequencies for each category. To show frequencies, contingency tables can be produced. For example we want to get the total count of female and male participants
To flatten data into gender/eye color we can make table contains both then calculate the probability table for them
gendereyemix<-xtabs(Freq~Sex+Eye,data.frame(HairEyeColor))

Most males and females have blue and brown eyes
qplot(data = data.df, Hair, Freq, geom="boxplot", color=Sex)
Most males and females have brown hair.
Let’s assume we are interested in the percentage of male and female with blue eyes
