The difference btwn marginal distribution and conditional distribution ?
So I have a table that "apparently" shows how a company's employees commute to work.
As you look at my sorry attempt to re-create the table I was given...
So now I must find the marginal ditrubution (in %) of mode of transportation as well as the conditional distribution (in%) of mode of tranportation for management.
When I read the definition of a conditional distribution in lead me to think that in order to find that I would divide the data under management [26,20,44] by the total [90].
The marginal distribution I am lost on.
Can someone help me ? Please ?
Thank you !
