Concept explainers

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.

Benjamin attended his town's annual Worm Charming Competition. Contestants are assigned to a square foot of land, where they have 30 minutes to "charm" worms to the surface of the dirt using a single technique. Benjamin observed contestants' charming techniques, and kept track of how many worms surfaced. The probability that a contestant tried singing into the ground is 0.5, the probability that a contestant charmed 21- 30 worms is 0.2 and the probability that a contestant tried singing into the ground and charmed 21-30 worms is 0.1. What is the probability that a randomly chosen contestant tried singing into the ground or charmed 21-30 worms?
