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.

Yet another variation: A better packet switched network employs the concept of acknowledgment. When the end user’s device receives a packet correctly it sends an acknowledgment to the sender. Here too, a packet is received correctly with probability p, but the sender keeps sending copies of a given packet until a copy is correctly received (signaled by acknowledgment). Let random variable N be the number of times the same message packet is sent.

Assume that we have three coins: The first coin is fair. The second coin is unfair with probability of heads equal to 0.8. The third coin is also unfair with probability of heads equal to 0.3. Consider an experiment involving two successive coin tosses. The result of the first stage of the experiment is determined by the toss of the fair coin. The result of the second stage of the experiment is determined by the toss of a coin, but suppose that the coin that is used depends upon the result of the toss of the fair coin. Specifically, if the toss of the fair coin results in heads, then the second coin is tossed. Otherwise the third coin is tossed. Let H, and T, be the events that ith toss resulted in heads and tails, respectively. Answer the following questions. Calculate P(H,). Are the events H, and H, independent? Justify your answer analytically.
