Find the marginal distribution of military status in percentages. Round to the nearest whole percentages.

In Armed Forces:

Military-dependent:

Civilian:

Answer: In Armed Forces: 0%

Military-dependent: 3%

Civilian: 97%

Explanation: Marginal Distribution is defined as the probability distribution of variables contained in a subset.

For the American Samoa's military status, marginal distribution is

1) In Armed Forces:

`p_(1)=(87)/(55,519)*100`

`p_(1)=0.15`

2) Military-dependent:

`p_(2)=(1709)/(55,519)*100`

`p_(2)=3.08`

3) Civilian:

`p_(3)=(53,723)/(55,519)*100`

`p_(3)=96.77`

Now round each percentage to the nearest whole percentage:

Armed forces: 0%

Military: 3%

Civilian: 97%

The marginal distributions of military status are, in nearest whole percentage:

Armed forces: 0%

Military: 3%

Civilian: 97%
