Suppose that, on average, the number of car accidents in US are 6 per day (which has 24 hours). i. Determine the probability that at least 4 accidents will occur in 12 hour period. ii. In a two days, if there were 8 car accidents in US, what is the probability that 2 accidents have occurred in the first 12 hours of the two days?
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.
