What is a joint frequency?

Back

Joint frequency is the count of observations that fall into a specific combination of categories in a two-way frequency table.

Front

How do you calculate the percentage of a category in a two-way frequency table?

Back

To calculate the percentage, divide the frequency of the category by the total number of observations and multiply by 100.
