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.

Question

The number of rescue calls received by a rescue squad in a city follows a Pois-

son distribution with 2.83 per day. The squad can handle at most four calls a day.

What is the probability that the squad will be able to handle all the calls

on a particular day?

The squad wants to have at least 95% confidence of being able to handle

all the calls received in a day. At least how many calls a day should the

squad be prepared for?

Assuming that the squad can handle at most four calls a day, what is the

largest value of

that would yield 95% confidence that the squad can

handle all calls?

Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner.
