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.

Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below. A machine is used to produce one of each of two types of product (A and B) on alternating days, i.e., if A is produced today then B will be produced tomorrow and vice versa. Each day, there is a probability that the machine malfunctions. Malfunction probability after a day of operation is 0.03 when producing A and 0.07 when producing B. Once the machine malfunctions, it is no longer operable and will not be replaced until sometime in the future (beyond modeling horizon). Model the system as a Markov chain (give transition matrix on your paper). Suppose that on Monday product A was produced. Find the probability that the machine is still operable by the morning of Thursday. Your model should have a state ”malfunction”, which cannot transition to any other state other than itself.
