Questions and Answers

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)
