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.

Daily sales records for a car dealership show that it will sell 0, 1, 2, or 3 cars, with probabilities 0.3, 0.5, 0.15, 0.05 respectively let X be the number of sales in a 2-day period, assuming that the sales are independent from day to day.

In a manufacturing process, lots having 10%, 12%, 14% or 16 defectives are produced according to the respective probabilities 0.2, 0.35, 0.15 and 0.3. Three customers have contracts to receive lots from the manufacturer. The contracts specify that the percentages of defectives in lots shipped to customers A, B and C should not exceed 10, 12 and 14, respectively. If a lot has a higher percentage of defectives that stipulated, a penalty of $ 200 per percentage point is incurred. On the other hand, supplying better quality than required costs the manufacturer $150 per percentage point. If the lots are not inspected prior to shipment, which customer should have the highest priority for receiving the order?
t a construction project, the amount of material used in a day’s construction is either 100 units or 200 units, with the corresponding probabilities of 0.60 and 0.40. If the amount of material required in a day is 100 units, the probability of shortage of material is 0.10, whereas if the amount of material required is 200 units, the probability of shortage of material is 0.30. What is the probability of shortage of material in a given day?If there is shortage of material in a given day, what is the probability that the amount of material required that day is 100 units?
You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent

What is the conditional probability that both attacked servers are patched?
When a woman goes for shopping she may buy several goods between them clothes and shoes. She has calculated the probabilities of her preferences as follows: The probability that she buys clothes, equals 0.60.6. The probability that she buys shoes and she does not buy clothes, equals 0.20.2. The probability that she buys both clothes and shoes, equals 0.20.2. Find the probability that in one shopping day she: (a) buys at least one of the goods “clothes” or “shoes”. (b) buys clothes and not shoes. (c) buys exactly one of the goods “clothes” and “shoes”. (d) buys at most one of the goods “clothes” and “shoes”.
You are the teacher of two math classes of 20 and 25 students respectively. To get into a university program, the students need a 75% in the class. Suppose each student has a 0.7 probability of getting atleast a 75% in the class. Let X1 be the number of students in the class of 20 who receive atleast a 75%. Let X2 be the number of students in the class of 25 who receive atleast a 75%. a. Do X1 and X2 fit the binomial setting? Are there any issues?
