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.

Question

**Hybrid Cotton Plant Study**

A botanist developed a new hybrid cotton plant that can withstand weevil infestation better than other strains of cotton. However, there is concern about the germination of seeds from the new hybrid. To study this problem, 3000 seeds were planted in warm, moist soil. Of these seeds, 2430 seeds germinated. Based on this data, what is the probability that any one seed chosen at random will successfully germinate?

**Probability Calculation**

To find the probability of a seed successfully germinating, divide the number of successfully germinated seeds by the total number of seeds planted.

\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Germinated Seeds}}{\text{Total Number of Seeds}} = \frac{2430}{3000}
\]

**Conclusion**

Calculate the fraction to determine the probability of germination for a single randomly chosen seed.
