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.

Vivian is deciding whether or not to prepare a tender for a job. The cost of producing the tender will be $1600, which will apply even if her company does not win the tender. Vivian has done some quick calculations and currently thinks that there is a 0.57 probability that the cost is $7000, and otherwise the cost is $10400. These costs do not include the cost of producing the tender. She also believes that the probability that the lowest bid submitted by any competing company will be $8800 is 0.35, that the probability that the lowest bid submitted by any competing company will be $16400 is 0.32, and otherwise that the lowest bid submitted by any competing company will be $12400 Vivian is considering whether she should bid $10800, bid $14400, or not bid. You may assume independence between the probabilities that Vivian assigns to her estimated costs of the project and the probabilities of her assumed lowest bids of competing companies. Thus if She submits a price of $14400 then the…
