The number of traffic accidents that occur per week in a large city during the summer months has a Poisson distribution withλ=7.3. a) Find the probability that the number of accidents in a given week is: i) exactly 3 ii) at most 1 b)What is the variance and standard deviation of the number of weekly traffic accidents? (round to 1 decimal place) Variance= Standard deviation=
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.
