    Female: 27,349

    Male: 28,170

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The marginal distribution of gender shows the totals for each gender, that is, how many total people are female and how many are male.

    Let's find the totals.

    Female:

    28 + 928 + 26,393 = 27,349



    Male:

    59 + 781 + 27,330 = 28,170



    The answer:

    Female: 27,349

    Male: 28,170

    In Armed Forces Military-dependent Civilian Total

    Female 0.0005 0.0167 0.4753 0.4925

    Male 0.0010 0.0143 0.4922 0.5075

    Total 0.0015 0.0310 0.9675 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To get the marginal distribution of the table, first you have to add one column for each row's total, and one row for each column's total, as follows:

    In Armed Forces Military-dependent Civilian Total

    Female 28 928 26,393 27349

    Male 59 781 27,330 28170

    Total 87 1709 53723 55519

    To compute the marginal distribution, you have to divide the amount of each subset by the total. For example, for females in armed forces is: 28/55519 = 0.0005. All other values are calculated in an analogous way.
