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.

Question
Answer part (d)

Transcribed Image Text:Suppose that you borrow $10,000 at 2% APR and that interest is compounded continuously. The equation of change for your account balance B = B(t) is
dB
= 0.02B.
dt
Here t is the number of years since the account was opened, and B is measured in dollars.
(a) Explain why B is an exponential function.
O The equation of change is
df
= erx where r is a constant.
dx
df
= rex wherer is a constant.

1
where r is a constant.
df
= rf wherer is a constant.
dx
O The equation of change is
df
= r where r is a constant.
dx
The equation of change is
(b) Find a formula for B using the alternative form for exponential functions.
B = 10000e.02t
(c) Find a formula for B using the standard form for exponential functions. (Round the growth factor to three decimal places.)
B = 10000 · 1.02'
