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?)

Suppose that a drug company wishes to test the effects of five new compounds on the growth rate of white rats. It is possible that rats within the same litter may have similar response. Hence blocks are defined as litters. Twenty-five rats within each of 4 litters are chosen at random from a large group of rats, and 5 rats of each litter are placed in one pen to be given one of the five treatments. Body weight gains (g/day/animal) on the pen basis are given in the following table after 3 months of feeding the compound. a. Does any difference exist among litters? b. Do all the compounds have the same effect on body weight gains?
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 15 trials of this experiment: 212, 236, 217, 235, 164, 257, 175, 285, 202, 193, 231,152, 269, 296, 186 Send data to calculator Find 30th and 75th percentiles for these reaction times.
The germination rate of seeds is defined as the proportion of seeds that, when properly planted and watered, sprout and grow. A certain variety of grass seed usually has a germination rate of 0.80, and a company wants to see if spraying the seeds with a chemical that is known to change germination rates in other species will change the germination rate of this grass species. (a) Suppose the company plans to spray a random sample of 400 seeds and conduct a two-sided test of 0: 0.8Hpusing = 0.05. They determine that the power of this test against the alternative 0.75pis 0.69. Interpret the power of this test.(b) Describe two ways the company can increase the power of the test. What is a disadvantage of each of these ways? (c) The company researchers spray 400 seeds with the chemical and 307 of the seeds germinate. This produces a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of seeds that germinate of (0.726, 0.809). Use this confidence interval to determine whether the test described in…
