Solution

Lets write the individual frequencies if class intervals for Age of wives and Age of husbands.

C.IAge of wives-YAge of husbands-X202553253055303552354036404513455011

Procedure:

Step1:

arrange the Class intervals column wise for "Age of Husband X" and row wise for "Age of wives Y.

Step 2:

Since, there are 3 husbands and 5 wives are in the C.I 2025.

So, first fill 3 members in common cell of C.I 2025.

the remaining 2 members fill in the common cell of C.I X(2530) and Y(2025).

i.e., Frequency of wives and husbands in C.I 2025 are 5 and 3 respectively.

Step 3:

Move to the C.I 2530 for Age of husbands.

There are 5 husbands in C.I 2530, in which 2 members are already filled.

So, the remaining 3 members fill in the common cell of C.I 2530.

Now, Frequency of husbands for C.I (2530)=5 satisfied.

Step 4:

Number of wives in C.I 2530 are 5.

In which 3 members already filled.

So, the remaining 2 members fill in the common cell of C.I X(3035) and Y(2530)

Here, Number of husbands in C.I 3035 is also existed.

Step 5:

Number of wives and husbands in class intervals 3035 and 3540are 5 and 6 respectively.

So, fill 5 members in the common cell of C.I Y(3035) and C.I X(3540).

i.e., frequency of 3035 for wives is filled.

Since, 6 members in the C.I 3540 for husbands.

So, the remaining 1 person fill in the common cell of Y(3540) and X(3540)

i.e., frequency of 3540 for husbands is filled.

Step 6:

There are 3 wives in C.I 3540.

In which already 1 filled.

So, the remaining 2 persons fill in the common cell of Y(3540) and X(4045).

i.e., frequency of 3540 for wives is filled.

Step 7:

Since, 3 husbands are in C.I 4045.

In which already 2 persons are filled.

So, remaining 1 person fill in the common cell of X(4045) and Y(4045).

i.e., frequency of 4045 for husbands is 3 and frequency of 4045 for wives is 1 filled.

Step 8:

Since, 1 husband and 1 wife in C.I (4550).

So, fill 1 in the common cell of X(4550) and Y(4550).


Hence, required two-way frequency table is formed.
