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.

An automotive center keeps track of customer complaints received each week. The probability distributions of complaints are shown below. The random variable, xi, represents the number of complaints, and p(xi) is the probability of receiving xi complaints for two of the stores.
