The ages and grades of some of the 17 girls on a club soccer team are shown in the table.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
& $15$ years old & $16$ years old \\

Which two-way frequency table correctly shows the marginal frequencies?


Sagot :

Sure, let's walk through the detailed solution to determine the two-way frequency table with the correct marginal frequencies.

First, let's fill in the table and use the given data:
[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline & 15 years old & 16 years old \\ \hline 9th grade & 2 & 0 \\ \hline 10th grade & 0 & 10 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

Next, we'll calculate the marginal frequencies. Marginal frequencies are the totals for each row and column in the table.

1. Total number of 9th graders:
- For 15 years old in 9th grade: [tex]\(2\)[/tex]
- For 16 years old in 9th grade: [tex]\(0\)[/tex]
- Total (for 9th grade): [tex]\(2 + 0 = 2\)[/tex]

2. Total number of 10th graders:
- For 15 years old in 10th grade: [tex]\(0\)[/tex]
- For 16 years old in 10th grade: [tex]\(10\)[/tex]
- Total (for 10th grade): [tex]\(0 + 10 = 10\)[/tex]

3. Total number of 15-year-olds:
- In 9th grade: [tex]\(2\)[/tex]
- In 10th grade: [tex]\(0\)[/tex]
- Total (for 15 years old): [tex]\(2 + 0 = 2\)[/tex]

4. Total number of 16-year-olds:
- In 9th grade: [tex]\(0\)[/tex]
- In 10th grade: [tex]\(10\)[/tex]
- Total (for 16 years old): [tex]\(0 + 10 = 10\)[/tex]

5. Grand total (Total number of girls):
- We add up all the individual entries in the table: [tex]\(2 + 0 + 0 + 10 = 12\)[/tex]

Now, we'll create the two-way frequency table with the marginal frequencies included:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & 15 years old & 16 years old & Total \\ \hline 9th grade & 2 & 0 & 2 \\ \hline 10th grade & 0 & 10 & 10 \\ \hline Total & 2 & 10 & 12 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

So, the two-way frequency table that correctly shows the marginal frequencies is as follows:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & 15 years old & 16 years old & Total \\ \hline 9th grade & 2 & 0 & 2 \\ \hline 10th grade & 0 & 10 & 10 \\ \hline Total & 2 & 10 & 12 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]
