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.

The probability that a person has a certain disease is 0.05. Medical diagnostic tests are available to determine whether the person actually has the disease. If the disease is actually present, the probability that the medical diagnostic test will give a positive result (indicating that the disease is present) is 0.92. If the disease is not actually present, the probability of a positive test result (indicating that the disease is present) is 0.04. a. If the medical diagnostic test has given a positive result (indicating that the disease is present), what is the probability that the disease is actually present? b. If the medical diagnostic test has given a negative result (indicating that the disease is not present), what is the probability that the disease is not present?
A family has two cars that are insured, a sports car and a commuting vehicle. The probability that the sports car is in an accident in the next 4 years is 0.014. The probability that the commuting vehicle is in an accident in the next 4 years is 0.004. Assuming that accidents are independent events, compute the probability that at least one of the two cars is in an accident in the next 4 years. Use three decimal place accuracy.

Nissa is randomly pulling the medical records of a hospital's patients and collecting the records of those who have multiple stays at this hospital. Assume that 27% of all patients who have ever stayed at this hospital have multiple stays. What is the probability that the first multiple stays patient record that Nissa comes across is the fourth one she pulls? Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability. • Round your answer to three decimal places.
