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.

An experiment is conducted to determine how many heavy duty clocks will survive for a 24-hour period after being exposed to an extreme amount of heat. 62 heavy-duty clocks are exposed to an extreme amount of heat and the clock makers monitor the heavy duty clocks for 24 hours to determine whether or not they will stay working within that time period. It is known by the clock making company that their clocks have a 48% chance of dying within 24 hours when exposed to such heat. Let X = the number of clocks that do not work after 24 hours. What is the mean of this binomial random variable? Report your answer to two decimal places. What is the standard deviation of this binomial random variable? Round your answer to two decimal places.

A viral infection is spread by contact with an infected person. Suppose that an infected person has contact with 15 healthy people, let X denote the number of people (out of these 15) who are infected. By “infected" we mean that the person develops symptoms of the infection. Based on previous research, the infection rate is 25%. After how many positive cases can we conclude the infection rate is acutally higher than 25%? (What is the lowest number of positive cases?)

A bucket has three marbles. Two are black and one is white. You keep drawing until you get a while marble. Every time you draw a black marble you put it back into the bucket and also add a new white marble to the bucket. The random variable X denotes the total number of marbles you have drawn from the bucket. Find P(X = k) as a function of k. Compute E(X).

A medical researcher claims that the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of a newly-developed influenza vaccine who go on to contract influenza strain X is less than the proportion of patients receiving 200 mg of last year's influenza vaccine who contract influenza strain X. Of 320 patients who are given last year's vaccine, 114 contract influenza strain X. Of 350 patients who are given the new vaccine, 112 of them contract influenza strain X. Let PN be the proportion of patients receiving the newly-developed vaccine and pL be the proportion of patients receiving last year's vaccine. State the null and alternative hypotheses and the value of the test statistic. Ho: PN =PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 0.99 Ho: PN=PL versus HA: PN > PL; Test statistic: Z = 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 1.55 Ho: PN-PL versus HA: PN PL; Test statistic: Z= 0.99
In an area having sandy soil, 40 small trees of a certain type were planted, and another 40 trees were planted in an area having clay soil. Let X = the number of trees planted in sandy soil that survive 1 year and Y = the number of trees planted in clay soil that survive 1 year. If the probability that a tree planted in sandy soil will survive 1 year is 0.5 and the probability of 1-year survival in clay soil is 0.4, compute an approximation to P(-4 < X – Y < 4) (do not bother with the continuity correction). (Round your answer to four decimal places.) In USE SALT .148
On each trial of an experiment, a subject is presented with a constant soft noise, which is interrupted at some unpredictable time by a noticeably louder sound. The time it takes for the subject to react to this louder sound is recorded. The following list contains the reaction times (in milliseconds) for the 20 trials of this experiment: 164, 212, 235, 236, 226, 152, 241, 311, 271, 273, 269, 285, 217, 175, 202,186,171, 261, 257, 231 Find the 20th and the 75th percentiles for these reaction times.
