A prisoner is told that he will be released at a time chosen uniformly at random within the next 24 hours. Let T denote the time that he is released. What is the hazard function for T ? For what values of t is it smallest and largest? If he has been waiting for 5 hours, is it more likely that he will be released in the next few minutes than if he has been waiting for 1 hour?
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.
