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.

The television show Lost has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 24, meaning that among the TV sets in use, 24% were tuned to Lost. Assume that an advertiser wants to verify that 24% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 15 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Lost broadcast.Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Lost.P(none) = Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Lost.P(at least one) = Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Lost.P(at most one) = If at most one household is tuned to Lost, does it appear that the 24% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Lost unusual?) yes, it is wrong no, it is not wrong
The following data were collected by counting the number of operating rooms in use at RTM hospital over a 50-day period: On 5 of the days, no operating rooms was used; on 14 of the days, only one operating room was used; on 19 of the days, two were used; on 10 of the days three were used, and on 2 days all four of the hospital's operating rooms were used. The probability that on a particular day none of the operating rooms will be available is Note: Input your probability in decimals rounded off to two decimal places. In a year-round of hospital operation, for 365 days, they can expect that their operating rooms were used for times. Note: Use the exact value of the mean in answering this question. The variance of the probability distribution is Note: Round off your variance to 2 decimal places, if necessary.
The accompanying data are from an article. Each of 309 people who purchased a Honda Civic was classified according to gender and whether the car purchased had a hybrid engine or not. Male Female Hybrid 76 33 Not Hybrid 116 84 Suppose one of these 309 individuals is to be selected at random. Determine if the probabilities P(hybrid male) and P(male hybrid) are equal. If not, explain the difference between these two probabilities. O Yes, the probabilities are equal. No, the probabilities are not equal. The first is the probability that a hybrid Honda Civic owner is male, and the second is the probability that a male Honda Civic owner purchased a hybrid. O No, the probabilities are not equal. The first is the probability that a male Honda Civic owner purchased a hybrid, and the second is the probability that a hybrid Honda Civic owner is male.

A manufacturer wishes to estimate the accuracy of its final visual inspection process. A random sample of 180 devices is selected from production. An item is defective or “bad” if it contains at least one visually noticeable cosmetic defect. The process improvement team agrees that the sample contains 27 bad items and 153 good items. The team gives the items to a “certified” operator for inspection. The operator rejects 10 good pieces and accepts 11 bad pieces and classifies the remainder correctly. What is the probability that the inspector will reject an item? P(inspector will reject an item) = ________%. Enter value using one decimal place.
