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:
“Such joint ownership creates a place where mothers can “father” and fathers can “mother.” It does not encourage mothers and fathers to compete with one another for “first- place parent.” Such competition is not especially good for marriage and furthermore drives kids nuts.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
