Joint Frequency Distributions
Bivariate joint frequency distributions are often presented as (two-way) contingency tables:
| Dance | Sports | TV | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | 2 | 10 | 8 | 20 |
| Women | 16 | 6 | 8 | 30 |
| Total | 18 | 16 | 16 | 50 |
The total row and total column report the marginal frequencies or marginal distribution, while the body of the table reports the joint frequencies.

Famous quotes containing the words joint and/or frequency:
“What’s a joint of mutton or two in a whole Lent?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
