What is joint relative frequency?

Back

Joint relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of a specific combination of categories to the total number of observations. It shows how often two events occur together relative to the total.

What is the difference between joint frequency and marginal frequency?

Back

Joint frequency refers to the count of occurrences for a specific combination of categories, while marginal frequency refers to the total counts for each category, regardless of the other variable.

What is a conditional relative frequency?

Back

Conditional relative frequency is the ratio of the joint frequency of a specific category to the marginal frequency of the category it is conditioned on.

How do you interpret a joint relative frequency of 0.1?

Back

A joint relative frequency of 0.1 means that 10% of the total observations fall into the specific combination of categories being analyzed.

What is the significance of percentages in two-way tables?

Back

Percentages in two-way tables help to understand the proportion of observations in relation to the total, making it easier to compare different categories.
