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.

![2. In the mid-19m century, Sir Francis Galton demonstrated, through extensive data collection, that many human
characteristics such as height and IQ are distributed throughout the entire population in accordance with the normal
distribution. Galton recorded the heights of 8585 men in Great Britain. This forms a normal distribution with a mean
of 67 inches and standard deviation of 2.5 inches.
