The data are given in the following two-ways

Which of the following conclusions seems to be supported by the data?

(a) There are more small companies than large companies in the survey.

(b) Small companies appear to have a higher response rate than medium or big companies.

(c) Exactly the same number of companies responded as didn’t respond.

(d) Small companies dislike larger companies.

(e) If we combined the medium and large companies, then their response rate would be equal to that of the small company

Marginal distributions aren’t the whole story Here are the row and column totals for a two-way table with two rows and two columns:

Find two different sets of counts a,b,c, and d for the body of the table that gives these same totals. This shows that the relationship between two variables cannot be obtained from the two individual distributions of the variables.
