The frequencies reported in the Totals row and Totals column of a two-way frequency table are called joint frequencies, with the bottom right most cell reporting the total number of observations.

Answer 1

Let’s break it down step by step:

1. What is a two-way frequency table?
2. It shows data with two categories.
3. What are joint frequencies?
4. Joint frequencies are the counts in the table that show how often two categories occur together.
5. Where do you find the totals?
6. The bottom row shows total counts for each row (category).
7. The far-right column shows total counts for each column (category).
8. The bottom-right cell displays the total number of all observations.
9. So, what do we call these totals?
10. The counts in the bottom row and far-right column are still joint frequencies, but they summarize data.
11. Remember:
12. The bottom right cell is the total of all observations in the table.

I hope that helps!
