Explanation of Solution
Calculation: To obtain the marginal distribution, below steps are followed in the Minitab software.
Step 1: Enter the data in Minitab worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Stat > Tables > Descriptive Statistics.
Step 3: Select “Field” in “For rows” and select “Country” in “For columns”. And select “Count” in “Frequencies are in”.
Step 4: Select the option “Total percents” and under the “Categorical Variables”.
Step 5: Click OK twice.
The percentage of totals are obtained as the Minitab output. The obtained marginal distribution are shown in the below table.

Graph: The marginal distribution is graphically shown by using the bar graph. To obtained the graphical representation, below steps are followed in the Minitab software.
Step 1: Insert the data into the worksheet.
Step 2: Go to Graph
Step 3: Click on the drop down menu of “Bar represents” and select “Values from table”.
Step 3: Select “Simple” and click “OK”.
Step 4: Specify the “Graph variables” and “Categorical variable”.
Step 5: Click “OK”.
The bar graph is obtained as:
Interpretation: The maximum percentage of students belongs to US whereas the minimum percentage of the students belongs to Canada.
