2.10 The occurrence of major snow storms (snowfall greater than 1 ft = 0.3048 m) for a particular location is assumed to follow a Poisson distribution. Over 33 years of snowfall records, such storms have occurred 94 times. 64 A. What is the probability of two or more major storms in the next year? B. What is the probability of exactly two storms occurring in the next 3 years? C. What is the return period of these storms?
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.
Since we only answer up to 3 sub-parts, we’ll answer the first 3. Please resubmit the question and specify the other subparts (up to 3) you’d like answered.
