Relative Frequencies in Basketball

Mr. Millanes introduces joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies using a class experiment involving a game of trash basketball. He explains how raw data was converted into percentages and provides definitions and examples for each type of relative frequency. Joint relative frequency is described as inside table percentages, marginal as outside percentages, and conditional as probabilities given specific conditions.
