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)
“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)
