Data packets pass through a router on a computer network at a constant rate of 3 packets per millisecond. Suppose that each such packet will be intercepted with probability 0.66, independently of all other packets. a) What is the probability that at least 1 packet will be intercepted during the next millisecond, rounded to two decimal places? b) What is the expected value of the number of packets that will be intercepted during the next millisecond? c) What is the variance of the number of packets that will be intercepted during the next millisecond?
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.
