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.

A reader wrote in to the “Ask Marilyn” column in Parade magazine to say that his grandfather told him that in three-quarters of all baseball games, the winning team scores more runs in one inning than the losing team scores in the entire game. (This phenomenon is known as a “big bang.”) Marilyn responded that this proportion seemed too high to be believable. Let p be the proportion of all major-league baseball games in which a “big bang” occurs. To investigate this claim, we randomly selected one week of the 2006 major-league baseball season, which turned out to be July 31-August 6, 2006. Then we examined the 95games played that week to determine which had a big bang and which did not. Of the95 games in our sample, 47 contained a big bang. Use a two-sided alternative, state the null and alternative hypothesis (in symbols and in words) for testing Marilyn’s claim. 7. Determine the test statistic and p-value. 8. What conclusion would you draw concerning Marilyn’s conjecture using the…
