b. Describe the distribution of the data

The table above is Frequency Distribution Table of qualitative variable married couples. The
first row is the category of the variable; the second row is the frequency of each categorical
value with the total of 60 of couples married. The third row shows the relative frequency of
the class is the ratio of its frequency to the total frequency. And the fourth row shows the
relative frequency expressed in percentage by multiplying 100% to each relative frequency.
