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.

This graph shows data from people from the sub-Saharan area of Africa who have contracted HIV. Outcomes for the patients were recorded as one of 4 mutually possibilities: alive and still in care at the original clinic, alive and still in care after transferring to a new clinic, alive but no longer visiting a clinic, or they’re dead. Keep in mind that this data were collected are from clinical records. Assume that the sample is a random representation of sub-Saharan Africans with HIV. Antiretroviral therapy is used to treat patients. What is the experimental unit? What are the variables (including the types)?

1. A machine can be in one of four states: 'running smoothly' (state 1), 'running but needs adjustment' (state 2), 'temporarily broken' (state 3), and 'destroyed' (state 4). Each morning the state of the machine is recorded. Suppose that the state of the machine tomorrow morning depends only on the state of the machine this morning subject to the following rules. • If the machine is running smoothly, there is 1% chance that by the next morning it will have exploded (this will destroy the machine), there is also a 9% chance that some part of the machine will break leading to it being temporarily broken. If neither of these things happen then the next morning there is an equal probability of it running smoothly or running but needing adjustment. • If the machine is temporarily broken in the morning then an engineer will attempt to repair the machine that day, there is an equal chance that they succeed and the machine is running smoothly by the next day or they fail and cause the machine…
Assume that the batter hits with probability 0.2 against left-handed pitchers, and with probability 0.3 against right-handed pitchers. Both situations are Bernoulli processes. One month the player bats 22 times against left-handed pitchers and 52 times against right-handed pitchers. How many hits should the batter expect to get during this month?
