A nuclear engineer, studying cesio-137, found that, of an initial total of 1010000 atoms, after a period of 345 days, only 973827 radioactive atoms remained. a) Find the average number of atoms that have decay day to day b) Find the probability that, on any given day, 46 radioactive decays will occur
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.
