Concept explainers

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.

In a cooking competition called Heaven's Kitchen, two teams compete against each other to serve a restaurant full of customers. The competitors cook dishes and send them to an executive chef, where it is either approved and sent to the customer, or is deemed unacceptable and sent back to the kitchen. The competition has run for the past 19 years. During the 9th annual Heaven's Kitchen competition, the Ruby team cooked a total of 124 dishes, of which 50 were sent back to the kitchen by the executive chef. In the same period, the competing Sapphire team cooked a total of 154 dishes and had 56 return. Construct a confidence interval to estimate the difference in the proportion of dishes sent back to the Ruby team and the proportion of dishes sent back to the Sapphire team. Use a confidence level of 93%. Round each answer to 4 decimal places. Do not round from one part to the next when performing the calculations, though. Find the confidence interval. <p1−p2<

At a county fair, you pay $2 to play the following game: You are given a fair coin, and two bags standin front of you, labelled Bag A and Bag B. You flip a coin: If your coin lands Heads, you pick a ballfrom Bag A. If your coin lands tails, you pick a ball from Bag B. Each ball has a dollar value written onit, and you win the number of dollars shown on the ball. • Bag A contains four (4) balls in total: Three (3) balls show $1, and one (1) ball shows $5.• Bag B contains three (3) balls in total: Two (2) balls show $2, and one (1) ball shows $3.You WIN money if you leave with more money than you started with. You LOSE money if you leavewith less money than you started with. You BREAK EVEN if you leave with the same money that youstarted with.Let H denote the event that you flip heads, T denote the event that you flip tails, W the event that youwin, and L the event that you lose.(i) You pay to play exactly one game.

Q4) You are on a TV show and the presenter shows you 3 boxes: box 1, box 2 and, box 3. There is check for 1M $ in one of the boxes and if you guess the correct box you win 1M $ ! Let's assume you chose box 1. Now, assume you play the same game, but this time there are 1000 boxes, box 1, box 2, ..., box 1000. There is a check for 1M $ in one of the boxes and you have to guess the correct box to win the prize. Let's assume you chose box 1. d) What is the probability that the check is in box 1? e) What is the probability that the check is not in box 1? f) After you chose box 1, the presenter opens 998 boxes, other than box 1, and shows you that they are all empty. Now only box 1 and let's say box 349 are closed. Then, the presenter asks you if you want to change your initial decision and choose box 349 instead of box 1. Do you still choose box 1 or change your decision and choose box 349? Why?
