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.

You are playing the new Lemon Game at Vegas. There are 3 windows in the slot machine. Window 1 displays only one of two choices: lemon or strawberry. Window 2 can display three choices: lemon, strawberry, or blueberry. Window 3 can display three choices: lemon, papaya, or cherry. Windows spin randomly and independent from each other. To win $1 you must have one lemon showing. To win $2, you must have two lemons, and to win the $5 jackpot, you must have all windows showing lemons. Using a tree diagram, determine the sample space. Determine the probability distribution. Let the random variable X represent the number of lemons displayed during one spin. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the distribution. In four sentences or less, would you want to play this game if it cost $.50 per spin? Justify your answer using the expected value approach.
For his Carnival project, Chester designed a game where players pick a random marble from a bag. In the bag there are 2 pink marbles, 10 green marbles, and 8 white marbles. If players draw a pink marble they get a large candy bar prize, if they draw a green marble they get a small lollipop prize, and if they draw a white marble they get a fist bump. Chester purchased a set of 16 candy bars for $12 and a bag of 200 lollipops for $20. Answer the following questions: What is Chester's expected cost per game? $ If Chester plans for 40 people to play his game, How many candy bars should he expect to give out? How many lollipops should he expect to give out?
This game is called “Get Negative”. Roll two dice (record these in the order you roll them), and then do then do the following: take the first number rolled and subtract 2 times the second number rolled. Regardless of who rolls, Player A gets 3 points if the product is greater than or equal to 0 (i.e. it is zero or positive); Otherwise Player B gets 1 points. The players may or may not take turns rolling the dice as it does not matter who is rolling. Any player may score on any roll, and every roll will result in a score. Play the game by rolling the dice 25 times. For each turn, keep a record of both dice and the resulting answer and the points scored, according to the rules above. Tally the points and calculate the final score for each player. Remember, someone gets a point for each turn, depending on the numbers rolled. (One does not have to be rolling to receive the points.) (Note: you may test the game by yourself by doing all of the 25 rolls yourself and just giving the…
