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.

Austin decided to give Taylor Swift another chance. So, he listened through all her songs from 2009. There were 8 in total. Let the random variable X be the number of songs in which she complained about some boy. The probability of complaining about a boy is 56%. (a) Is X a discrete or continuous random variable? How do you know? (b) What are the possible values of X? (c) Does X follow a distribution that we covered in class? If so, how do we know? Properly label the distribution.
After careful research you observe that the number of hackers active on each day is a random variable Bin(3,0.5) distribution. If no hackers are active, the probability of the website failure is 0.15; If one hacker is active the probability of the website failure is 0.3; if two or more hackers are active the probability of the website failure is 0.5. You conclude that the total probability of website failure on a given day is two decimal place). Assuming there is a failure, the probability no hackers are active is (to (to two decimal places).
