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 realtor who takes the listing on a house to be sold knows that she will spend $700 trying to sell the house. If she sells it herself, she will earn 6% of the selling price. If another realtor sells a house from her list, the first realtor will earn only 3% of the price. If the house remains unsold after 6 months, she will lose the listing. Suppose that probabilities are as follows: Event Probability Sells the house alone 0.50 Sells through another agent 0.40 Does not sell in 6 months 0.10 What is the expected profit from listing a $175,000 house?
Bob, the proprietor of Midway Lumber, bases his projections for the annual revenues of the company on the performance of the housing market. He rates the performance of the market as very strong, strong, normal, weak, or very weak. For the next year, Bob estimates that the probabilities for these outcomes are 0.19, 0.27, 0.37, 0.07, and 0.10, respectively. He also thinks that the revenues corresponding to these outcomes are $20, $18.4, $16.8, $16, and $11 million, respectively. What is Bob's expected revenue for next year? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A firm making production plans believes there is a 30% probability the price will be $10, a 50% probability the price will be $15, and a 20% probability the price will be $20. The manager must decide whether to produce 6,000 units of output (A), 8,000 units (B) or 10,000 units (C). The following table shows 9 possible outcomes depending on the output chosen and the actual price. Production $10 $15 6,000 (A) -$200 $400 8,000 (B) -$400 $600 10,000 (C) -$1,000 $800 If the mean-variance rule is used, how much should the firm produce?

Organizers of an outdoor summer concert in Toronto are concerned about the weather conditions on the day of the concert. They will make a profit of $33,000 on a clear day and $15,000 on a cloudy day. They will make a loss of $7,000 if it rains. The weather channel has predicted a 52% chance of rain on the day of the concert. Calculate the expected profit from the concert if the likelihood is 11% that it will be sunny and 37% that it will be cloudy.
Suppose a distribution center is considering three options for expansion. The first one is to expand into a new plant, the second to add on third-shift to the daily schedule, and third, a small expansion to the existing facility. There are three possibilities for demand. These are high, medium, and low having probabilities of 40%, 33%, and 27% respectively. Suppose that the profits for the expansion plans are as follows: The new plant expected outcomes are $110,000, $50,000, -$15,000, the third shift consideration would result in outcomes of $40,000, $20,000, $-5,000 and the small expansion choice would in the following dollar amounts $15,000, $13,000, -$1,500. The amount that the company must invest in each alternative is: new plant = $48,000, third shift = $15,100, small expansion = $8,700 a. The profit/loss (EMV) for the new plant is $ [Select] b.

Investment advisors recommend risk reduction through international diversification. International investing allows you to take advantage of the potential for growth in foreign economies, particularly in emerging markets.

An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $40,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $20,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $40,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20% probability the economy will remain strong, a 70% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
