The Poisson distribution gives the probability for the number of occurrences for a "rare" event. - refer to screenshot (a) less than 20 days (i.e., x<=x<20) round to four decimal places. (b) more than 50 days
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.

![The Poisson distribution gives the probability for the number of occurrences for a "rare" event. Now, let x be a random variable that represents the waiting time between rare events. Using some mathematics, it can be
shown that x has an exponential distribution. Let x > 0 be a random variable and let ß > 0 be a constant. Then y = =ex/ß is a curve representing the exponential distribution. Areas under this curve give us exponential
probabilities.
y
If a and b are any numbers such that 0 < a < b, then using some extra mathematics, it can be shown that the area under the curve above the interval [a, b] is the following.
P(a < x < b) = ea/ß - eb/B
Notice that by definition, x cannot be negative, so, P(x < 0) = 0. The random variable x is called an exponential random variable. Using some more mathematics, it can be shown that the mean and standard deviation of x
are the following.
u = B and o = B
Note: The number e = 2.71828. .. is used throughout probability, statistics, and mathematics. The key eš is conveniently located on most calculators.
Comment: The Poisson and exponential distributions have a special relationship. Specifically, it can be shown that the waiting time between successive Poisson arrivals (i.e., successes or rare events) has an exponential
distribution with B = 1/2, where 1 is the average number of Poisson successes (rare events) per unit of time.
Fatal accidents on scheduled domestic passenger flights are rare events. In fact, airlines do all they possibly can to prevent such accidents. However, around the world such fatal accidents do occur. Let x be a random
variable representing the waiting time between fatal airline accidents. Research has shown that x has an exponential distribution with a mean of approximately 44 days.t
We take the point of view that x (measured in days as units) is a continuous random variable. Suppose a fatal airline accident has just been reported on the news. What is the probability that the waiting time to the next
reported fatal airline accident is the following?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F284ce232-a980-47f4-bf47-2ef7b5db9f89%2Fe67d2560-20e5-47b4-bbb8-634c9157ed66%2Fhevysk8_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
