Question 4: According to historic data, on average, 5 traffic accidents occur per month at intersection A. If the probability that more than 2 accidents happen at that intersection is more than a given threshold p, the municipality will take corrective actions to improve the intersection safety. You have been asked to investigate if the municipality should take corrective actions or not. What type of probability distribution should you use to check this and is this a discrete or continuous probability distribution? (a) Normal, Continuous (c) Binomial, Discrete (b) Poisson, Discrete (d) Exponential, Continuous

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.

Suppose you are playing a game and you get to roll 40 six-sided dice on your next turn. If you get a total of 160 or more from the 40 dice, you will win the game. Using sampling distributions, what is the probability that you will get a total of 160 or more with the 40 dice? Some useful things to know: When one six-sided die is rolled, the die roll (or number of spots showing) has a mean of 3.5 and a standard deviation of approximately 1.71.
