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 door-to-door salesman expects to make a sale 21% of the time when starting the day. But making a sale increases his enthusiasm so much that the probability of a sale to the next customer is 0.32. If he makes no sale, the probability for a sale to the next customer stays at 0.21. What is the probability that he will make at least two sales with his first three visits?

Show all your work and explain each step. A laboratory blood test is 0.95 effective in detecting Corona virus, when it is, in fact, present. However, the test also yields a "false positive" result for 1 percent of the healthy persons tested. (That is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.01, the result will imply s/he has the Corona virus.) If 0.5 percent of the population in King County has the virus, what is the probability a person has the virus given that his or her test result is positive?
