Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is naturally released by rocks and soils and may concentrate in tightly closed houses. Since radon is slightly radioactive, there is some concern that it may be a health hazard. Radon detectors are sold to homeowners worried about this risk, but the detectors may be inaccurate. University researchers placed 30 radon detectors in a chamber where they were exposed to 105 picocuries per liter (pCi/l) of radon over 3 days. The sample average reading from the 30 radon detectors was 102.87 pCi/l and the sample standard deviation was 4.9 pCi/l.

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.

A student is concerned with the amount of air pollution students are exposed to in the school's parking lot after school. The student conducts an investigation to compare the quantity of particulate matter released from the diesel-powered buses, natural gas-powered buses, and the large and small cars as they idle waiting to pick up students. To make measurements, a small piece of white fabric is used to collect particulate matter from the tailpipe of each vehicle as it idles for five minutes. Each piece of fabric is then analyzed to measure the amount of particulate matter it collected. (i) Identify the independent variable in the investigation. (j) Identify one variable that was not mentioned in the description that could affect the results of the investigation. (k) Describe a realistic alternate sampling method to collect particulate matter from the vehicles in the investigation. (1) The student wants to ensure that the results are reliable.
