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.

George is a big fan of music from the 1960s, and 22% of the songs on his iPod are Beatles songs. Suppose George sets his iPod to "shuffle," so that it selects songs randomly (assume the shuffle function permits repetition of songs). During a long drive, George plays 50 randomly selected songs. Calculate the probability that more than 30% of the 50 randomly selected songs are Beatles songs. Round your answer to four decimal places.
