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.

Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼.

List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
