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.

A species of fish can be born with either blue fins or green fins. It is thought by researchers that 23% of these fish at any given time have blue fins. However, a newer research doubts this finding, and think that the percentage of fish with blue fins is higher. He wants to do a test at a 10% significance level, so he collects a sample of 200 fish, and 53 are found to have blue fins. What is the probability that this researcher has committed a Type I error?

Dr. Verde conducted an experiment in which she randomly assigned each subject a colored pencil and then asked them to choose their favorite color. Her results showed that neither the distribution of the assigned pencil colors or the subjects' preferred colors conformed to their expected theoretical probability values. If she repeats the experiment with a much larger sample, how would you expect her results to change and why? Answer in complete sentences. UPLOAD

Jenny works for a local brewing company. She and her team mates try to estimate the Hong Kong consumers’ preference on their beer brand compared to other imported ones. They performed a survey asking if the respondent prefers the company’s brand the most or not.

This is an important decision for the company, and the management wants to have the probability that the sample proportion p is +/- 3% from the actual proportion p to be very high (i.e., at least 99%). In this case, what is the desirable sample size n for the following two cases? Give the answer in the form of: at least ___ x100 samples. Case i. When the actual proportion is 50%. Case ii. When the actual proportion is 10%. Explain why the sample sizes required to achieve the same accuracy in the two cases are different.
