Using the following table, what term best describes the entry of 62%? Which location would you most like to visit? Aspen, Colorado New York, New York Row totals Male students 22% 28% 50% Female students 16% 34% 50% Column totals 38% 62% 100% Joint frequency Joint relative frequency Marginal frequency Marginal relative frequency

Hint #1: 62% describes the overall (total) percentage of students (boys and girls) who would like to visit New York; the percentages of those students who would like to visit Colorado are not included (except that 100% - 38% = 62%).
But can you explain to me what Joint frequency Joint relative frequency Marginal frequency Marginal relative frequency Those mean.
Ill give a whole bunch of medals to the first person that tells me what those mean.
Please I promise to give you a whole bunch of medals.

@Tboi: This particular problem requires some research on your part as well as on mine. When I saw the phrase "joint relative frequency," I immediately did an Internet search, both to refresh my memory on "relative frequency" and to learn precisely what "joint relative frequency" means. By and large you'd be more likely to learn such concepts well by doing such research, rather than asking for explanations on OpenStudy. Here, "joint" would refer to "boys and girls," meaning that we're interested in knowing what percentage of ALL students express interest in visiting New York. That's a "relative frequency" as well as a "joint relative freuqency." As an embajador you'd probably be faced often with students who want you to explain things that they could easily look up on the 'Net. Often, suggesting that they do just that turns out to be better advice (from you) than trying to explain concepts yourself so that they think they don't need to research such info themselves.
Oh ok
@mathmale so it would be C right?
