Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

To find the relative frequency marginal distribution of gender, we need to add up the number of males and females in each category and divide by the total population.

For males, we have:

In Armed Forces: 28

Military-dependent: 59

Civilian: 928

Total: 1015

So the relative frequency for males is:

In Armed Forces: 28/55319 = 0.05 or 5%

Military-dependent: 59/55319 = 0.11 or 11%

Civilian: 928/55319 = 1.68 or 168%

For females, we have:

In Armed Forces: 781

Military-dependent: 1709

Civilian: 26085

Total: 28575

So the relative frequency for females is:

In Armed Forces: 781/55319 = 1.41 or 141%

Military-dependent: 1709/55319 = 3.09 or 309%

Civilian: 26085/55319 = 47.17 or 4717%

The total population is 55319, so the relative frequency marginal distribution of gender is:

Male: (1015/55319) x 100% = 1.84 or 184%

Female: (28575/55319) x 100% = 51.70 or 5170%

Total: 100% (rounded to the nearest whole percent)

Note: It's important to remember that relative frequencies can be greater than 100% when dealing with multiple categories or variables, as in this case with gender and military status.
