Concept explainers

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.

#### College Completion Statistics in a Certain Region (1970 vs 1990)

In 1970, 10% of people in a certain region completed four years of college. Out of these college graduates, 42% were women. By 1990, the percentage of people in the same region who completed four years of college increased to 23%. Among these, 54% were women.

#### Problem and Solution

A problem is presented to calculate the probability that a person, who completed four years of college in 1970, is a woman.

**Part (a)**
Given that a person completed four years of college in 1970, what is the probability that the person was a woman?

**Solution:**
The probability is represented as P(Woman | Completed College in 1970).

**Enter Your Answer:**
Type your answer as an integer or a decimal (do not round it) in the provided answer box and then click *Check Answer*.

There is an indicator showing the number of parts remaining, which currently is "2 parts remaining."

**Interactive Components:**
- An answer box where users can input their answer.
- A "Check Answer" button to validate the input.
- A progress bar that visually indicates parts remaining out of the total parts in the question.

This educational setup helps students practice probability calculations and input their answers for immediate feedback.
