Conditional relative frequency is defined as?

• A. The sum of all conditional relative frequencies
• B. The ratio of a joint relative frequency to its related marginal relative frequency
• C. The ratio of a marginal relative frequency to the grand total
• D. The product of a joint and marginal relative frequency

Answer: (B)

Conditional relative frequency tells you, for a fixed category of one variable, how the outcomes are distributed among the other variable. It is found by taking the joint relative frequency of a cell and dividing it by the marginal relative frequency for the conditioning category. In other words, it's the ratio of the joint relative frequency to the related marginal relative frequency, which aligns with the idea of P(B | A) = P(A and B) / P(A). This shows how many of the cases where the first variable is in a given category also have the second variable in a specific category. The sum of these conditional frequencies within that fixed category equals 1.
