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.

There are two white balls in box B1, two red balls in box B2, two white and two red balls in box B3, and three white and one red balls in box B4. The probability of choosing boxes B1, B2, B3 or B4 is given as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 respectively. One of the boxes is chosen at random and a ball is drawn at random from the selected box. What is the probability that the selected ball comes from box B3 under the condition that it is white?
