Imagine that 60 passengers on a cruise ship might be carrying a rare virus, and government health workers randomly (without replacement) select ten passengers for testing. What is the minimum number of the 60 passengers that must be carrying the virus to make the probability that at least one of the ten selected passengers tests positive for the virus is greater than or equal to 0.95?
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.
Imagine that 60 passengers on a cruise ship might be carrying a rare virus, and government health workers randomly (without replacement) select ten passengers for testing. What is the minimum number of the 60 passengers that must be carrying the virus to make the probability that at least one of the ten selected passengers tests positive for the virus is greater than or equal to 0.95?
