Vehicle breakdowns are equally likely to occur at any point on a 10 kilometer stretch of a given expressway. An emergency recovery truck is stationed at one end of this stretch of expressway. Assume that the recovery truck travels at a constant speed of 50 kilometers/hour. What is the expected (average) time taken for the recovery truck to reach a vehicle that breaks down on this stretch of expressway?
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.
