To find the marginal distribution of females, we look at the total number of females and divide it by the grand total.

From the table:

  • Total number of females = 620
  • Total number of individuals (both males and females) = 1000

The marginal distribution of females is calculated as:

\[ \text{Marginal distribution of females} = \frac{\text{Total number of females}}{\text{Total number of individuals}} = \frac{620}{1000} = 0.62 = 62.0% \]

Thus, the marginal distribution of females is 62.0%.
