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.

Question

Suppose a slot machine has three independent wheels as shown in the figure below.

The payoffs for the slot machine shown in the figure are in the following table.

First one cherry		4 coins
First two cherries		6 coins
First two wheels are cherries and the third wheel a bar		11 coins
Three cherries		11 coins
Three oranges		14 coins
Three plums		14 coins
Three bells		20 coins
Three bars (jackpot)		50 coins

What is the mathematical expectation for playing the game with the coin being a quarter dollar? Assume the three wheels are independent. (Assume you are playing one coin. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
