Suppose that a disease is inherited via a dominant mode of inheritanceand that only one of the two parents is affected with the disease. The implications of this mode of inheritance are that the probability is 1 in 2 that any particularoffspring will get the disease.(a)What is the probability that in a family with two children,both siblings are affected?(b)What is the probability that exactly one sibling is affected?(c)What is the probability that neither sibling isaffected?(d)Suppose the older child is affected. What is theprobability that the younger child is affected?(e)If A, B are two events such that A = {older child isaffected}, B = {younger child is affected}, then are the eventsA, B independent?
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.
