Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sum of the frequencies in the corresponding row or column are referred to as marginal frequencies. This is because they are the frequencies that appear in the margins of the table, rather than in the cells themselves. Observed frequencies refer to the actual frequencies that were observed or measured in a particular study, while expected frequencies refer to the frequencies that would be expected if a particular hypothesis or model were true. Total frequencies is not a commonly used term in statistical analysis.
