1 answer:
The frequency data table is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find conditional relative frequency and conditional relative frequency is used to compare the frequency count to the marginal total that represents the particular condition we are dealing with.
In this case, the condition is the popular vote of the state being won by the Democrat in 2012, given that the same popular vote was won by the Democrat in 1976.
In the frequency data table attached, we see that the joint frequency count for Democrat winning in 1976 and 2012 is given as 12.
While the corresponding marginal frequency total is given as 24.
Thus;
Conditional relative frequency = joint frequency count/marginal frequency total = 12/24 = 0.5
