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.

The number of people arriving per hour at the emergency room (ER) of a local hospital seeking medical attention can be modeled by the Poisson distribution, with a mean of 15 people per hour.The inter-arrival time, X, is defined as the time that passes between successive arrivals of patients seeking medical attention. (a) It has been 4 minutes since the last person seeking medical attention arrived at the ER. What is the probability that at least 9 minutes (in total) will pass until the next medical-attention-seeking person passes through the ER doors? Use four decimals in your answer.
Person P is walking with his dog every day. He decides to model the time intervals between dog encounters (i.e., how long does it take between two encounters) with the independent random variables Y1, . . ., Yn. Number of dogs encounters per day, the number of customers entering a store per hour, the number of bacteria per liter of water, etc. are classically modelled using the Poisson distribution. With an exponential distribution, on the other hand, is used for modelling intervals of between events and how long a light bulb lasts, for example. After learning this, person P decides to model the observations in such a way that the corresponding random variables Y1,..., Yn for a random sample, that is, independent observation, of the exponential distribution Exp(1/µ), µ > 0. The parameter μ > 0 is used as the statistical model parameter 1 which is the expected value of each observation random variable Yi. Derive (a) the joint density function f(y;µ) specifying the model.
