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.

2 Lily had to roll a fair, six-sided cube to determine how many times she would be able to move during a game. Then, she had to spin a spinner that was divided into four equal, colored pieces-orange, purple, blue, and green. If she landed on the same cobr as she spun, she got to move two extra spaces. What is the probability that Lily will roll a number greater than I and have the spinner land on purple? Samuel went to a sandwich shop and chose to build his own.
