Of the 2000 passengers, crew, and staff that boarded a cruise ship, 8 have the flu. After one day of sailing, the number of infected people has risen to 12. Assuming that the rate at which the flu virus spreads is proportional to the product of the number of infected individuals and number not yet infected, determine how many people will have the flu at the end of the 10-day cruise.
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.
Of the 2000 passengers, crew, and staff that boarded a cruise ship, 8 have the flu. After one day of sailing, the number of infected people has risen to 12. Assuming that the rate at which the flu virus spreads is proportional to the product of the number of infected individuals and number not yet infected, determine how many people will have the flu at the end of the 10-day cruise.
