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.

Historically it has been observed that patients admitted to a certain hospital for treatment of influenza spend a MEAN length of 4.4 days in the hospital. Every flu season, different strains of the flu circulate: Some years the primary strain causes more severe illness (and presumably longer than average hospital stays) and other years less so (meaning presumably shorter than average stays). We assume the hospital stays are NORMALLY distributed. a. A hospital wants to see how this year's flu season compares to previous years. Therefore, state the null and alternate hypotheses that would be used to test whether the hospital is seeing a mean hospital stay that is significantly DIFFERENT than the historical mean of 4.4 days. b. FIFTEEN patients admitted for influenza treatment are then randomly sampled and the length of their hospital stay in days is given below. 4641056443743774 SAMPLE MEAN =?

In a Denver community, 50 cases of diabetes were reported among 15-19 years old out of a total population of 46,000 between September 1 to December 31, 2016. Ten percent (4,600) of the population were between 15-19 years old on April 1, 2016 and the size and age distribution of the population has remained constant. An investigation of the cases in the 15-19-year age group revealed that 22 of the reported cases were contracted prior to September 1. In addition, another 18 cases developed in April and May but were clinically resolved before September 1. What was the cumulative incidence rate of disease in 15-19 year olds per 1,000 population in this Denver community during the period September 1 to December 31, 2016?
