Find the conditional distribution of the response variable employment status by level of education, the explanatory variable, for the data in Table 9 on page 253.

What is the association between level of education and employment status?

Approach First compute the relative frequency for each employment status, given that the individual did not finish high school. Next, compute the relative frequency for each employment status, given that the individual is a high school graduate. Continue computing the relative frequency for each employment status for the next two levels of education. This is the same approach taken in Example 3 for employed individuals.
