You can also calculate relative frequencies for each row to examine the association between the two variables. Of the men surveyed, 50% like action movies. Copy and complete the table below. (Both total rows have 100%)
You can also calculate relative frequencies for each column to examine the association between the other three variables. Copy and complete the table below.
(CC-9 Relative Frequency on page CC22 Question 8 and question 11)
The movie types are Action, Drama and Comedy, and there are men and women surveyed on both questions.
To calculate the relative frequencies for each row, you would divide the number of individuals who like a particular movie type by the total number of men surveyed. In this case, we know that 50% of men surveyed like action movies. Let's assume there were a total of 100 men surveyed.
To calculate the number of men who like action movies, you would multiply the total number of men surveyed (100) by the relative frequency (0.50 or 50%).
Number of men who like action movies = 100 * 0.50 = 50.
Similarly, you can calculate the number of men who like drama and comedy movies using their respective relative frequencies.
To complete the table, you would have:
--------------------------------
| | Action | Drama | Comedy |
--------------------------------
| Men | 50 | ?? | ?? |
--------------------------------
| Women | ?? | ?? | ?? |
--------------------------------
To calculate the relative frequencies for each column, you would divide the number of individuals who like a particular movie type by the total number of individuals surveyed (both men and women). We don't have the information on the relative frequencies for each column, so the table cannot be completed without that information.
