Suppose that 12 young people apply for 8 vacancies at a local restaurant. Because the applicants are equally qualified, the restaurant owner decides to fill these 12 vacancies randomly. Half of the applicants are women and the number of women chosen to fill these vacancies follows the hypergeometric distribution. The probability that no more than four women will be chosen to fill the 8 vacancies is . (Note: write your final answers to 3 decimal places).
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.
