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.

In this tab, we will run a statistical test to help us determine whether the bagworm is really preferring evergreen trees and shrubs over deciduous trees and shrubs. In this problem we are treating bagworm number as a continuous variable. Our statistical null hypothesis for this test is: The mean number of bagworms on evergreen trees will be the same as the mean number of bagworms on deciduous trees. Our statistical alternate hypothesis for this test is: The mean number of bagworms on evergreen trees will be different than the mean number of bagworms on deciduous trees. 1.

A pharmaceutical company sells a tablet for treating colds. After extensive experimentation, researchers at the pharmaceutical company have developed a new formula for the tablet. The researchers suspect that the mean recovery time of all patients treated with the old tablet is more than the mean recovery time of all patients who are treated with the new tablet. To see if this is true, a random selection of volunteers were exposed to a typical cold virus. After they started to have cold symptoms, 25 of them were given the old tablet. The remaining 25 volunteers were given the new tablet. For each individual, the length of time taken to recover from the cold was recorded. At the end of the experiment the following data were obtained. It is known that the population standard deviation of the recovery time from a cold is 1.8 days when treated with the old tablet, and the population standard deviation of the recovery time from a cold is 1.5 days when treated with the new tablet. It is also…
