Guided Notes

Students will be able to: 1. Construct two-way frequency tables and calculate relative frequencies 2. Determine joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies from two-way tables The document provides examples and step-by-step instructions for calculating different types of relative frequencies from two-way frequency tables, including joint, marginal, and conditional relative frequencies. Formulas and explanations are given for each.

Guided Notes: Finding Relative Frequencies

1. Students will be able to construct a two-way data table with relative frequencies
2. Students will be able to determine joint, marginal, and conditional relative
frequencies in the context of data

Two-way Frequency Table = frequency table that displays _____ belonging to two
different ________

Attending Not Attending Total


Kids 45 35 80
Adults 25 15 40
Total 70 50 120

Relative Frequency = an _______ frequency divided by the _____ frequency

Relative Frequency = interval frequency / total frequency

Joint Frequency = data in the _____ of the frequency table (yellow)

Attending Not Attending Total


Kids 45 35 80
Adults 25 15 40
Total 70 50 120

Joint Relative Frequency = ratio of a value that is in the _____ of the table to the
______ number of data values

Joint Relative Frequency = joint frequency / total frequency = yellow / green

Attending Not Attending Total


Kids 45/120
Adults
Total
Marginal Frequency = data in the ______ columns or rows of the frequency table (blue)

Attending Not Attending Total


Kids 45 35 80
Adults 25 15 40
Total 70 50 120

Marginal Relative Frequency = ratio of a value that is in the _______ column or row of
the table to the ______ number of data values

Marginal Relative Frequency = marginal frequency / total frequency = blue / green

Attending Not Attending Total


Kids 80/120
Adults
Total

Conditional Frequency = compares a ______ frequency count to a _________ total

Attending Not Attending Total


Kids 45 35 80
Adults 25 15 40
Total 70 50 120

Conditional Relative Frequency.= ratio of value that is in the ______ of the table to the
_________ total of the table

Conditional Relative Frequency = joint frequency / marginal frequency = yellow / blue

Of the people that said they were attending, how many are kids? 45/70

Of the adults that were surveyed, how many said they are not attending? 15/40

Of people that said they were not attending, how many are adults? 15/50

Of the kids that were surveyed, how many said they were attending? 45/80
Example 1: Fill in the table below that shows the different sports that boys and girls
participate in at a local high school.

Basketball Volleyball Soccer Total


Boys 45 35 130
Girls 55 60
Total 85

a) Complete the joint and marginal relative frequency table based on the above data:

Basketball Volleyball Soccer Total


Boys
Girls
Total

b) Find the following conditional relative frequencies:

Given the number of students that play soccer, how many are boys? XX/110

Of the girls that play a sport, how many play volleyball? 55/XXX

What is the probability that a student plays basketball, given they are a boy? XX/130

What is the probability a student is a boy, given he plays volleyball? 35/XX


Example 2: Fill in the table below that shows the different foods that freshman and
sophomores prefer to eat for lunch at a local high school.

Pizza Hamburgers Tacos Total


Freshman 8 12
Sophomores 12 25
Total 22 22

a) Complete the joint and marginal relative frequency table based on the above data:

Pizza Hamburgers Tacos Total


Freshman
Sophomores
Total

b) Find the following conditional relative frequencies:

Given the freshman that were surveyed, how many prefer pizza?

Of the students that prefer tacos, how many are sophomores?

What is the probability a student likes hamburgers, given they are a freshman?

What is the probability a student is a freshman, given they like tacos?
