Re: st: Combining Frequency Tables

[Oren Jalon <oren@mentor-initiative.net>]

Not quite.  For example, if Var X has 100 records and Var Y has 200 
records where Var X has #6 twenty times and and  Var Y has #6 ten times, 
the frequency of the variable would be:

(20+10) /(100+200) = 30/300 or 0.1

I guess 'table' is the wrong term.  I need the combined frequency of two 
variables.  Does this make sense?

Thanks,

Oren
