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.

Does playing Mozart for unborn babies result in having children with higher IQs? A psychologist obtains a random sample of 30 mothers in the first trimester of their pregnancy. The mothers are asked to play Mozart in the house at least 45 minutes each day until they give birth. We know that IQs are normally distributed with a mean of 100. A few years after their births the children were given an IQ test and the IQs of the 30 children in the study resulted in a sample mean of 104.2. Assume the population standard deviation for IQ of children is 15. Is there evidence that the children who listen to Mozart for at least 45 minutes each day during pregnancy have higher IQs at the 0.05 level of significance? Use the p-value approach. a. Define the parameter we are testing and setup a hypothesis test to see if the mean IQ of children who listened to Mozart at least 45 minutes a day during pregnancy is higher than the national mean of 100: b. Calculate the test statistics for this…
