Concept explainers

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.

Wendy needs to get to an airport from a hotel. There is 0.33 chance that she calls a cab, there is 0.11 chance that she gets a Uber. If she cannot get a cab or Uber, she will take a shuttle. If she calls a cab, there is 0.29 chance that she could miss the flight. If she gets a Uber, the chance of missing flight is 0.22. If she takes the shuttle, the chance is 0.28. What is the probability that she misses the flight? (Round your answer to three decimal places)
The weather in Columbus is either good, indifferent, or bad on any given day. If the weather is good today, there is a 40% chance it will be good tomorrow, a 30% chance it will be indifferent, and a 30% chance it will be bad. If the weather is indifferent today, there is a 50% chance it will be good tomorrow, and a 20% chance it will be indifferent. Finally, if the weather is bad today, there is a 10% chance it will be good tomorrow and a 30% chance it will be indifferent. a. What is the stochastic matrix, P, for this situation? b. Suppose there is a 10% chance of good weather today and a 90% chance of indifferent weather. What are the chances of bad weather tomorrow? c.

Your probability professor has a tabby cat who sleeps 34% of the time and seems to respond to stimuli more or less randomly. If a human pets her when she’s awake, she will request more petting 8% of the time, food 38% of the time, and a game of fetch the rest of the time. If a human pets her when she’s asleep, she will request more petting 33% of the time, food 41% of the time, and a game of fetch the rest of the time. (You can assume that the humans don’t pet her disproportionally often when she’s awake.) • If the cat requests food when petted, what is the probability that she was asleep? • If the cat requests a game of fetch when petted, what is the probability that she was not asleep?

Please help!!! Q4. Ariana and Bella are playing a game. They each have 4 cards, which are numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. Each shuffles her own cards and turns one over at random. If the cards show the same number, Ariana wins and Bella must pay Ariana $3. If the cards show different numbers, Bella wins and Ariana must pay Bella $1. By finding the probabilities of Ariana and Bella winning, show whether or not the game is fair.
