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.

In a study of 320,354 cell phone users, it was found that 34 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000142 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 46 cases of such cancer in a group of 320,354 people. Estimate the probability of 34 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 320,354 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system? (a) P(xs 34)= H(Round to four decimal places as needed) (b) What does the result from part (a) suggest about the media reports? O A. The media reports appear to be correct because one would expect that less than 46 cell phone users would develop cancer and the study offers some evidence to support this O B. The media reports appear to be incorrect because one would expect that more than 46 cell phone users would develop cancer In fact, the study may offer some…
