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.

Suppose that the rats on the campus of Hypothetical U are found to be carriers of bubonic plague. Eradicating the rats has an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and is expected to reduce the probability a given student dies of the plague from 1/3,000 to zero. Suppose that there are 30,000 students on campus. Suppose further that the administration refuses to eradicate the rats due to the cost. From this information, we can estimate that the administration's willingness to pay to save a student statistical life is no more than $100,000 $1,000,000 $50,000 $33,333

A circuit operates as long as there is a functional path, which does not include any dysfunctional (broken) switches on its path, between 1 and 2. The probabilities that the switches A, B, and Y are not functioning or broken (Failure, F) are 12%, (22)%, and (13)%, respectively (as shown in the figure below). The switches function independently.

Suppose that on any given day, there is a 20% chance that Lebron has a bad day, a 50% day that Lebron has a so-so day, and a 30% chance that Lebron has a good day. On a bad day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.5. On a so-so day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.7. On a good day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.9. Suppose that tomorrow, Lebron takes a 3-point shot, and we record whether he hits or misses and what kind of day he was having. What is the probability that Lebron hits? What is the probability that if Lebron is having a bad day given that he misses a shot that day?
A congressional committee is composed of 10 members: 6 Republicans and 4 Democrats. On any given vote, members vote independently. Whereas Republicans always vote their party line, Democrats vote their party line with probability .8, and vote Republican with probability .2. On a rainy day only 3 committee members (selected w/o replacement) were present. Let X = number of Democrats present Y = Number who voted Democratic that day Display the table of joint probabilities fX,Y(i,j) for 0 ≤ j ≤ i, for i=0,1,2,3. We can say that p(i,j)=P[x=i, Y=j].
