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.

students were assigned a quiz that contains 7 independent multiple-choice problems. Each problem was worth 1 point and has 4 choices, where only one of them is correct. A pirate, who does not understand probability and statistics, disguises himself as a clever student and tried to pass one of the quizzes. Unlike our students, he is not able to solve the problems and, thus, decides to randomly choose an answer for each problem. Let X be a random variable representing the score of the pirate on the FIRST problem of the quiz. What distribution does X follow?
