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 bank has established two counters, one for commercial banking and the second for personal banking. Arrival and service rates at the commercial counter are 6 and 12, respectively.

The Poisson mass function is often used in biology to model the number of bacteria in a solution. Suppose a dilute suspension of bacteria is divided into several different test tubes. The number of bacteria x in a test tube has a Poisson mass function with a parameter 2 that represents the mean number of bacterial cells contained in the different test tubes. Express the probability that a particular test tube contains no bacteria, in terms of 2.
Suppose the number of photons emitted by an atom during a one-minute time window can be modeled as a Poisson random variable with parameter λ = 2. Now, suppose you watch the atomfor two minutes, and the number of emitted photons in each minute is an independent Poisson process. Calculate the probability that you see exactly one photon during the two minutes. (Hint: this is the probability that you see no photons in the first minute and one photon in the second minute, plus the probability that you see one photon in the first minute and no photons in the second minute.) Similarly calculate the probability that you see exactly two photons during the two minutes.Compare these probabilities to the probabilities that a Poisson random variable with parameter λ= 4 takes the value one, or two. Are they the same?

Suppose that a worker value jobs by both the wage rate and the workplace collegiality. The woker’s utility is strictly increasing in the wage rate but strictly decreasing in the chance of being bullied in the workplace. The utility function of the worker is U = wa (1-), where a = 0.5, w is the wage rate and b is the probability that a worker is bullied in a workplace. Suppose for a typical job A, the chance of getting bullied is 0.01, and the wage rate is 100. Which of the following statements is correct? a. If job B offer w = 121 and b = 0.04, the worker would prefer job B to job A b. If job B offer w = 144 and b = 0.09, the worker would prefer job B to job A c. If job B offer w = 80 and b = 0, the worker would prefer job B to job A d. If job B has bullying probablity b = 0.04, the worker is indifferent between job A and job B.
