Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What do the sums of frequencies or relative frequencies in rows define?

The joint distribution of X and Y

The marginal distribution of the variable X (correct)

The variance of X

The conditional distribution of Y given X

What is the meaning of fi. in the context of contingency tables?

The joint frequency of X and Y

The variance of X

The relative frequency of the group of individuals presenting modality xi of X (correct)

The relative frequency of the group of individuals presenting modality yi of Y

What is the formula for the relative frequency fij?

fij = nij / (ni. * nj.)

fij = nij / n (correct)

fij = nij / (ni. * n.j)

fij = nij / nij
