# Way to show two tables side-by-side?

is there a way to show these two tables side-by-side, which would make readability easier?

Thanks

$$\begin{array}{} \begin{array}{c|c|c} \text{X} & \text{P(X)}\\ \hline \\1 & 0.0768 \\2 & 0.2304 \\3 & 0.3456 \\4 & 0.2592 \\5 & 0.7776 \end{array} & \begin{array}{c|c|c} \text{Y} & \text{P(Y)}\\ \hline \\1 & 0.15625 \\2 & 0.3125 \\3 & 0.3125 \\4 & 0.15625 \\5 & 0.03125 \end{array} \end{array}$$

Wouldn't it be useful to add this to meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/5020/…? For me at least, it's a useful quick-check resource (not suggesting to close this, just if maybe you'd like to add this as a comment/answer to the other question as well). –  gnometorule Feb 15 '13 at 8:16
@gnometorule: I have appended a bit about array nesting to the FAQ –  robjohn Feb 16 '13 at 15:41
You can also use align \begin{align} \begin{array}{c|c|c} \text{X} & \text{P(X)}\\ \hline \\1 & 0.0768 \\2 & 0.2304 \\3 & 0.3456 \\4 & 0.2592 \\5 & 0.7776 \end{array} &\quad\quad \begin{array}{c|c|c} \text{Y} & \text{P(Y)}\\ \hline \\1 & 0.15625 \\2 & 0.3125 \\3 & 0.3125 \\4 & 0.15625 \\5 & 0.03125 \end{array} \end{align} (Sorry for just copying most of robjohn's answer.)
You can push edit and see how he did that.
This is really not an answer, but in my opinion the better way to go about it is to right-click the table(s), and then $\mathsf{Show\ Math\ As\ \blacktriangleright TeX\ Commands}$. (Some might not like the pop-up window that results, but I find it better than changing pages.) –  Arthur Fischer Feb 17 '13 at 17:49
