Underweight At goal weight overweight total
Male 93 206 81 380
Female 37 446 137 620
Total 130 652 218 1000

1)62.0%
2)38.0%
3)13.0%
4)65.2%

Answer 1

To find the marginal distribution of males, we first need to determine the total number of males and the total number of participants.

From the table provided:

- Total number of males = 380
- Total number of participants = 1000

To find the marginal distribution of males (as a percentage), we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Marginal Distribution of Males} = \left(\frac{\text{Total Males}}{\text{Total Participants}}\right) \times 100
\]

Substituting the numbers:

\[
\text{Marginal Distribution of Males} = \left(\frac{380}{1000}\right) \times 100 = 38\%
\]

Thus, the marginal distribution of males in this dataset is \(\textbf{38.0\%}\).

The correct answer is:
**2) 38.0%**
