Suppose you have four (4) boxes each of which contains six (6) balls: a red ball, a blue ball, a green ball, a purple ball, a yellow ball and a pink ball. If you draw a ball at random from each box what is the probability that: there are no balls of the same colour either the first ball or last ball or both are green the colour of the first ball is the same as the fourth ball AND the colour of the second ball is the same as the third ball e.g. red, green, green, red. For each of these questions explain your answer i.e., show your reasoning.
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 you have four (4) boxes each of which contains six (6) balls: a red ball, a blue ball, a green ball, a purple ball, a yellow ball and a pink ball.
If you draw a ball at random from each box what is the
-
there are no balls of the same colour
-
either the first ball or last ball or both are green
-
the colour of the first ball is the same as the fourth ball AND the colour of
the second ball is the same as the third ball e.g. red, green, green, red.
For each of these questions explain your answer i.e., show your reasoning.
