Suppose the chance of getting flu is independent of each other. Suppose 20% of graduate school students nationwide develop influenza. Further, suppose we have a class of size 15. Let X be the number of students who get flu, calculate the following probabilities: Exactly 4 get influenza No more than 4 get influenza Less than 4 get influenza How many students should the teacher expect to be sick with influenza that year?

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.

You are the manager of a manufacturing plant and you are responsible for quality control. Each day, a random sample of 10 items is selected from the production line and tested by a quality control technician. A item can be in good condition or defective, and the probability that an item is defective is 0.05. You know by experience that the technician records the result of the test on an item correctly 80% of the time. Let X be the number of items that were recorded as defective by the technician (in the sample of 10 tested items). (a) Find the probability P(X= 1). (b) If the technician recorded one defective item in the sample, what is the conditional probability that there was no defective item in the sample?
