Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft can carry 38 passengers, and a flight has fuel that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 lbs. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. 1. What would the average weight of the 38 passengers have to be in order to exceed 6200 lbs? 2. What is the probability that the plane is overloaded? Assume the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 189 lbs and a standard deviation of 39 lbs.
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.
