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.

ssume that 33.2% of people have sleepwalked. Assume that in a random sample of 1454 adults, 523 have sleepwalked. a. Assuming that the rate of 33.2% is correct, find the probability that 523 or more of the 1454 adults have sleepwalked. b. Is that result of 523 or more significantly high?
A believer in the "random walk" theory of stock markets thinks the value of an index of stock prices has a 0.6 probability of rising in any year. The change in the value of the index in any given year is not affected by whether it rose or fell in earlier years. You plan to record the value for the index in each of the next eight years. Let the random variable, X, represent the number of years (out of the next 8 years) in which the value of the index rises. a) If X is distributed according to the binomial probability distribution, what are the values for n and p?o b) What are the possible values X can take, or equal?
