1. A parking lot has seven spaces for seven cars. The spaces are next to each other and the ones on each end has only one neighboring space while each of the others have two. What is the probability that when three cars park one after the other and at random, they do not have any neighbors? Naturally, no two cars can occupy the same space.

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.
