What are the differences between Marginal and Conditional Relative Frequency?

Marginal RF: Proportion within a category, ignoring others. | Conditional RF: Proportion within a category, given another category.

What are the differences between Association and Independence in categorical variables?

Association: Conditional relative frequencies differ. | Independence: Conditional relative frequencies are the same.

What are the differences between Side-by-side bar graph and Segmented bar graph?

Side-by-side: Compares groups using separate bars for each category. | Segmented: Shows distribution within each group using segments in a bar.

Explain the concept of using relative frequencies to analyze two-way tables.

Relative frequencies (joint, marginal, conditional) help reveal patterns and relationships between categorical variables in a two-way table.

Explain how marginal and conditional relative frequencies are used to determine association.

Compare conditional relative frequencies to see if they differ significantly across categories. If they do, the variables are associated; if they are roughly equal, they are independent.

Explain the purpose of side-by-side bar graphs for categorical data.

Side-by-side bar graphs visually compare the distributions of a categorical variable across different groups or categories of another variable.

Explain the purpose of segmented bar graphs for categorical data.

Segmented bar graphs show the distribution of a categorical variable within each group or category of another variable, displayed as segments within a single bar.

Explain the purpose of mosaic plots for categorical data.

Mosaic plots visualize the relationship between two categorical variables, where the area of each rectangle is proportional to the joint relative frequency of the categories.
