Concept explainers

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 have entered an axe-throwing competition. To enter the competition, you must pay a flat fee of $20. Each contestant is allotted eight throws. You left your glasses at home and thus are facing greater odds than would normally be expected from a talented athlete such as yourself. Hitting the target in the center wins you $5. You have a 1/8 probability of hitting the center Hitting the target in the second ring wins you $3. you have a 2/8 probability of hitting the second ring Hitting the target in the third ring wins you $1. You have a 4/8 probability of hitting the third ring Missing the target wins you $0. you have a 1/8 probability of missing the target. Each throw is considered an event, so the following equation tells us the expected outcome per throw, which can be multiplied by 8 for the total expected outcome of the game. E=-2.5(8/8)+5(1/8)+3(2/8)+1(4/8)+0(1/8) E=-2.5+(5/8)+(3/4)+(1/2)+0 E=(-5/8) E=-0.625 8E=-5 2. The expected value of the game is -$5 3. This is not…
