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.

To set up a password for a computer account, the password must consist of two lowercase letters (a to z) followed by one capital letter (A to Z) followed by four digits (0,1,...,9). For the following two questions, you can leave the answers in multiplicative and fraction forms. (a) Find the total number of possible passwords. (b) Find the probability that the password contains at least one repetition in the letters or numbers. Note that the same letter in lowercase and in capital letter is considered as a repetition, for example, abA1234 is considered having a repetition in letter “a”.
In the spreading of a rumour, each person who is told the rumour has probability p of believing it and only those who believe the rumour will pass it on. Assume that all individuals behave independently of each other and the rumour is never told to someone who has already heard it.
