In the Query Builder, got to the menu and tick "View-Totals". 

You will then see another row in the grid labelled "Total:" 

All the entries initially will be "Group By". 
Delete the unique fields from the query (First, Last,Married)
Change the entries for the Attendance fields to "Sum" .  
Voila!
