Pick two questions, copy, and answer. 1) Explain the difference between and frequency table and a relative frequency table and what do both of them describe? 2) Draw a example of a contingency table. 3) What is a marginal distribution?
HOMEWORK #3
Please check your homework answers against homework answers in your group. Check correct or incorrect answers with a COLORED PEN/PENCIL and staple if you need to. Make sure to make corrections on answers that were wrong.
check for the categorical data condition the data are either counts or individuals in categories. When making a relative frequency chart, make sure that the categories do not overlap so no one is counted twice. If the categories do overlap, you cannot make a pie chart.

This result is often encountered in socialscience and medical-science statistics, and is particularly frequent when categorical data are unduly given causal interpretations.
