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.

1) Carbon Dioxide EmissionsCarbon emissions contribute to climate change, which has serious consequences for humans and theirenvironment. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, carbon emissions, in the form ofcarbon dioxide (CO2), make up more than 80 percent of the greenhouse gases emitted in the UnitedStates (EPA, 2019). The burning of fossil fuels releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases. These carbonemissions raise global temperatures by trapping solar energy in the atmosphere. This alters watersupplies and weather patterns, changes the growing season for food crops, and threatens coastalcommunities with increasing sea levels (EPA, 2016).The amount of CO2 emitted per year A (in tons) for a vehicle that averages x miles per gallon of gas, canbe approximated by the function A(x) = 0.0089x 2 − 0.815x + 22.3. a) Determine the average rate of change of the amount of CO2 emitted in a year over the interval[20, 25], and interpret its meaning.b) Determine the average rate of…

c) A pharmaceutical company conducts an experiment to test the effect of a new cholesterol medication. The company selects 15 subjects randomly from a larger population. Each subject is randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. Within each treatment group, subjects receive a different dose of the new medication.

A country club wants to exam the effects of a new marketing campaign that attempts to get more people within the community to become members. In many communities, when people buy a house in the area, they receive a “Welcome Wagon” gift basket containing coupons to local restaurants. The idea of the marketing campaign is to include a free two month membership to the country club in the gift basket with the hope that once “new” residents try the country club then at least a certain proportion will want to become real members. One member of the Club’s Executive Council believes that at least 79% of the people who receive the coupons for the free membership will use the coupon. In a sample of 204 new residents who received the coupon for the two month free membership, there were 137 people who actually took advantage of the free two month membership. When testing the hypothesis that at least 79% of the people that receive the coupon actually use it, what is the test statistic?
Burning fuels in power plants and motor vehicles emits carbon dioxide (CO2), which contributes to global warming. The CO2 emissions (metric tons per capita) for countries varies from 0.02 in Burundi to 44.02 in Qatar. Although the data set includes 214 countries, the CO2 emissions of 15 countries are not available on the World Bank database. The data set is too large to display but the data for the first five countries is given. Use the full data set with data on the 214 countries to answer the questions.

Within a large metropolitan area, 20% of the commuters currently use the public transportation system, whereas the remaining 80% commute via automobile. The city has recently revitalized and expanded its public transportation system. It is expected that 6 months from now 30% of those who are now commuting to work via automobile will switch to public transportation, and 70% will continue to commute via automobile. At the same time, it is expected that 10% of those now using public transportation will commute via automobile and 90% will continue to use public cransportation. In the long run, what percentage of the commuters will be using public transportation? (Round your answer to the nearest percent.)

2. Baldur is a big fan of salaries. He collects data on wages and the length of schooling the people had from 100 employees in a large company with the aim of creating a model that can predict wages by level of education (measured in the number of years in school after primary school). The employees with the lowest level of education in Baldur's data immediately entered the labor market after compulsory school leaving, while those with the highest level of education have completed 9 years of schooling after leaving compulsory school leaving. Baldur started by drawing the data and saw that the relationship is linear. He also calculated some fish sizes that can be seen below: standard Change average deviation salary 660020 150100 Education (year from primary school diploma) 5.5 2.2 He also calculated the correlation coefficient between salary and level of education (measured in the number of years in school from primary school exam) and obtained r = 0.55. a.)

1. Observational studies suggest that moderate use of alcohol reduces heart attacks, and that red wine may have special benefits. One reason may be that red wine contains polyphenols, substances that do good things to cholesterol in the blood and so may reduce the risk of heart attacks. In an experiment, healthy men were assigned at random to drink half a bottle of either red or white wine each day for two weeks. The level of polyphenols in their blood was measured before and after the two week period. Here are the percent changes in level for the subjects in both groups.Red 3.5 8.1 7.4 4.0 0.7 4.9 8.4 7.0 5.5White 3.1 0.5 -3.8 4.1 -0.6 2.7 1.9 -5.9 0.1 a. Is there good evidence that red wine drinkers gain more polyphenols on average than white wine drinkers? b. Does this study give reason to think that it is drinking red wine, rather than some lurking variable, that causes the increase in blood polyphenols? Justify your answer.c. Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for…
2. A leading researcher in the study of interstate highway accidents proposes that a major cause of many collisions on the interstates is not the speed of the vehicles but rather the difference in speeds of the vehicles. When some vehicles are traveling slowly while other vehicles are traveling at speeds greatly in excess of the speed limit, the faster-moving vehicles may have to change lanes quickly, which can increase the chance of an accident. Thus, when there is a large variation in the speeds of the vehicles in a given location on the interstate, there may be a larger number of accidents than when the traffic is moving at a more uniform speed. The researcher believes that when the standard deviation in speed of vehicles exceeds 10 mph, the rate of accidents is greatly increased. During a 1-hour period of time, a random sample of 50 vehicles is selected from a section of an interstate known to have a high rate of accidents, and their speeds are recorded using a radar gun. The data…
