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.

ou have 2 six sided dice and you want to know how often and what percentage of each combination is rolled for a designated number of rolls. Ask the user how many times they want to roll the 2 dice. Use the random number generator to produce 2 numbers in the range of 1-6. This will simulate each dice. For output, show what each dice was for each roll (Use a loop to do this) and then print a summary report of how many of each total you rolled. The summary report will show how many rolls were made, how many of each total (remember totals will be 2 - 12) and what percentage each total was from all the rolls (number of that total/total rolls *100). Example Below. Be sure to ask the user if they would like to run the program again (Hint: Be sure to carefully place your play again while loop so that all the counters can be reset to 0 to play the game again. Summary report: Number of Total Rolls of the Dice: 500 Sum of Two Dice Number Percentage 50 10% 100 20% 12 1%
