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.

A firm's revenue R is stochastically related to the effort exerted by its employee. Effort is a continuous variable. The employee can choose any level of effort e E [0, ). The choice of effort affects revenue so that: E(R|e) = e and Var(R|e) = 1 %3D where E(R|e) and V ar(R|e) denote the expected value and variance, respectively, of rev- enue when the employee exerts effort level e. The employer cannot observe the level of effort exerted by the employee. The employer wants to design a wage contract w based on the revenue and considers only contracts of the form: w-α+ βR and so the employee is guaranteed a payment a and then a bonus payment ßR which de- pends on revenue. The employee is a risk-averse expected utility maximiser. A contract w gives expected utility: Eu(w\e) = E(w\e)-eV ar(w]e) – c(e) where E(wle) and Var(wle) denote the expected value and variance of the contract, re- spectively, conditional on effort e, p is a parameter of risk aversion, and c(e) denotes the disutility of…
