​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)

To construct the relative frequency marginal distribution, we need to calculate the relative frequencies for each element by dividing the given frequencies by the grand total (which is the sum of all the values in the table). 

### Step 1: Find the grand total
The grand total is the sum of all the values in the table:

\[
20 + 25 + 30 + 30 + 15 + 50 = 170
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the relative frequencies
Now, divide each individual value by the grand total (170), and round the results to three decimal places.

#### For \( y_1 \) row:
- \( x_1 \): \( \frac{20}{170} = 0.118 \)
- \( x_2 \): \( \frac{25}{170} = 0.147 \)
- \( x_3 \): \( \frac{30}{170} = 0.176 \)

#### For \( y_2 \) row:
- \( x_1 \): \( \frac{30}{170} = 0.176 \)
- \( x_2 \): \( \frac{15}{170} = 0.088 \)
- \( x_3 \): \( \frac{50}{170} = 0.294 \)

### Step 3: Relative frequency marginal distribution (column-wise)

Now, we sum the relative frequencies for each column \( x_1 \), \( x_2 \), and \( x_3 \):

- \( x_1 \): \( 0.118 + 0.176 = 0.294 \)
- \( x_2 \): \( 0.147 + 0.088 = 0.235 \)
- \( x_3 \): \( 0.176 + 0.294 = 0.470 \)

### Step 4: Verify the sum of all relative frequencies
The total sum of the relative frequencies should be close to 1 (due to rounding):

\[
0.294 + 0.235 + 0.470 = 0.999 \approx 1
\]

### Final Answer:
The relative frequency marginal distribution, rounded to three decimal places, is:

|         | \( x_1 \) | \( x_2 \) | \( x_3 \) |  
|---------|-----------|-----------|-----------|  
| \( y_1 \) | 0.118     | 0.147     | 0.176     |  
| \( y_2 \) | 0.176     | 0.088     | 0.294     |  
| **Total** | **0.294** | **0.235** | **0.470** |
