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.

You should be able to answer this question after studying Unit 5. A mountain rescue team is preparing to move a stretcher (with an injured climber) down a flat slope. The combined mass of the stretcher and climber is 85 kg, and the slope makes an angle of 18° with the horizontal. The stretcher is held in place by a rope that makes an angle of 25° with the slope. The stretcher is on the point of slipping down the slope. The coefficient of static friction between the slope and the stretcher is 0.15. rope 25° stretcher 18° Model the stretcher and climber as a particle, the slope as a plane and the rope as a model string.
