The number of babies born each day in a certain hospital isPoisson distributed with λ = 6.9.(a) During a particular day, are 7 babies more likely to beborn than 6 babies?(b) What is the probability that at most 15 babies will be born during a particular day?
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.
The number of babies born each day in a certain hospital is
Poisson distributed with λ = 6.9.
(a) During a particular day, are 7 babies more likely to be
born than 6 babies?
(b) What is the probability that at most 15 babies will be born during a particular day?
