If there is no seasonal effect on people getting sick, we would expect equal numbers of people getting sick in each season (winter, spring, summer and fall). A student takes a census of students who took Marketing Research in 2019 and finds that of the 280 students who took Marketing Research in 2019, 75 were sick in winter, 65 were sick in spring, 68 were sick in summer and 72 were sick in fall. She wonders if the excess in the winter is an indication that sickness rates are not uniform throughout the year.
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.
