(A) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the woods on the next three observations? (B) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the meadow on the next three observations?
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.
Redo exercises 17 and 18 in section 8.1 of your textbook, about the small animal who lives in an area with woods and meadows, using the following data:
If the animal is in the woods on one observation, then it is three times as likely to be in the woods as the meadows on the next observation. If the animal is in the meadows on one observation, then it is four times as likely to be in the meadows as the woods on the next observation.
Assume that state 1 is being in the meadows and that state 2 is being in the woods.
(A) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the woods on the next three observations?
(B) If the animal is initially in the woods, what is the probability that it is in the meadow on the next three observations?
