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?

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”.
A machine has four components, A, B, C, and D, set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual parts working are P(A) = P(B) = 0.95, P(C) = 0.91, and P(D) = 0.96. Find the probability that at least one of the four parts will work. Round to six decimal places.
