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.

![### Determining Horizontal Asymptotes
To find the horizontal asymptote of the function \( h(x) = \frac{3x^2 + 3}{x^2 + 4} \), consider the degrees of the polynomial in the numerator and the polynomial in the denominator.
The degrees of both the numerator and the denominator are equal (each is a quadratic polynomial).
When the degrees of the numerator and the denominator are the same, the horizontal asymptote is found by dividing the leading coefficients.
For the function \( h(x) = \frac{3x^2 + 3}{x^2 + 4} \), the leading coefficient of the numerator (3x²) is 3 and the leading coefficient of the denominator (x²) is 1.
So, the horizontal asymptote is:
\[ y = \frac{3}{1} = 3 \]
### Multiple Choice Question
Choose the correct horizontal asymptote of \( h(x) = \frac{3x^2 + 3}{x^2 + 4} \)
- \( y = 1 \)
- \( \text{none} \)
- \( y = 0 \)
- \( y = 3 \)
The correct answer is: \( y = 3 \).
