10% of a really large number can be bigger than 20% of a small number. 10% of 100 is 10. 20% of 10 is 2. 10 is bigger than 2 so Sergi's claim is false.
To avoid such problems when comparing the categorical variables in a two-way frequency table, we need to exam the table by separate categories (rows or columns). When a relative frequency is determined based upon a row or column, it is called a "conditional" relative frequency.
Two-way relative frequency tables show what percent of data points fit in each category. ...
For example, here's how we would make column relative frequencies:
Step 1: Find the totals for each column.
Step 2: Divide each cell count by its column total and convert to a percentage.
