EXAMPLE:On an ACT or SAT test, a typical question has 5 possible answers. If anexaminee makes random guess on one such question, what is the probabilitythat the response is wrong?SOLUTION:There are 5 possible outcomes or answers, and there are 4 ways to answerincorrectly. Random guessing implies that the outcomes are equally likely,so we apply the classical approach to get4= 0.85P(wrong answer) =EXAMPLE:Find the probability that when a couple has 3 children, they will haveexactly 2 boys. Assume that boys and girls are equally likely and that thegender of any child is not influenced by the gender of any other child.SOLUTION:The biggest obstacle here is correctly identifying the sample space. Itinvolves more than working only with the numbers 2 and 3 that were givenin the statement of the problem. The sample space consists of 8 differentways that 3 children can occur, and we list them in the margin. Those 8outcomes are equally likely, so we use Rule 2. Of those 8 different possibleoutcomes, 3 correspond to exactly 2 boys, so1st 2nd 3rdboy-boy-boyboy-boy-girlехаctlyboy-girl-boy2 boysboy-girl-girl4 girl-boy-boygirl-boy-girlgirl-girl-boygirl-girl-girlP(2 boys in 3 births) == 0.375INTERPRETATION: There is a 0.375 probability that if a couple has 3children, exactly 2 will be boys.

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.
