I have two variables:
Married, which is either Married or Not MarriedRace, which is Black, White, or OtherI'm trying to find the percent of Married and Black within the whole population.
I have tried the following code:
tab married race, row
married | black other white | Total
-----------+---------------------------------+----------
married | 274 18 1,150 | 1,442
| 19.00 1.25 79.75 | 100.00
-----------+---------------------------------+----------
single | 309 8 487 | 804
| 38.43 1.00 60.57 | 100.00
-----------+---------------------------------+----------
Total | 583 26 1,637 | 2,246
| 25.96 1.16 72.89 | 100.00
However, I'm looking for 274/2246, not 274/1442 which is what the 19.00 gives me.
