Answer
There is a difference between the conditional distributions of educational level and employment status because the denominator that is used to calculate the conditional distribution in both cases will differ.
Work Step by Step
Consider the distribution of educational level by employment status. In the provided table, associations become clear. With an increase in the amount of employment (explanatory variable), the proportion of “high school graduates” as well as that of “did not finish high school level” increases but the proportion of “bachelor’s degree or higher” decreases. Hence, it can be concluded that the educational level will change in a construction of conditional distribution of educational level. Similarly, employment status will change in the construction of conditional distribution.
