Mavis is interested in whether military status is related to gender in American Samoa. Here is data she collected about the population of American Samoa in 2010:
\begin{tabular}{lrr}
Military status & Female & Male \
\hline In Armed Forces & 28 & 59 \
Military-dependent & 928 & 781 \
Civilian & 26,393 & 27,330
\end{tabular}

Find the marginal distribution of military status in counts.
In Armed Forces: $\square$
Military-dependent: $\square$
Civilian: $\square$

Accepted Answer

∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ To find the marginal distribution of military status in counts, we need to sum the counts for each military status category across both genders. ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ For "In Armed Forces", sum the counts for females and males: $$28 + 59 = 87$$ ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ For "Military-dependent", sum the counts for females and males: $$928 + 781 = 1709$$ ‖ ‖ step 4 ⋮ For "Civilian", sum the counts for females and males: $$26,393 + 27,330 = 53,723$$ ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ In Armed Forces: 87 ⚹ ⚹ Military-dependent: 1709 ⚹ ⚹ Civilian: 53,723 ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Marginal Distribution⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The marginal distribution of a variable is obtained by summing the counts or probabilities across the levels of another variable. In this case, we summed the counts of military status across genders.⚹◊What is the formula for calculating the marginal distribution in counts for a specific category (e.g. "In Armed Forces")?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
