Record the responses in the table below.
What is the marginal frequency of each type of pet?
- Sum the responses of people with each characteristic for the first pet type, “bird.”
- Sum the responses of people with each characteristic for the first pet type, “cat.”
- Sum the responses of people with each characteristic for the first pet type, “dog.”
- Sum the responses of people with each characteristic for the first pet type, “fish.”
- Organize the marginal frequencies in a two-way frequency table. Create a row and include the marginal frequencies of each response under the name of each response.
