When a customer enters a drugstore, the probabilities that he or she will have 0, 1, 2, or 3 prescriptions filled are 0.55, 0.30, 0.10 and 0.05, respectively. For a sample of seven people who enter the drugstore, find the probability that three will have no prescriptions, two will have 1 prescriptions, one will have 2 prescriptions, and 1 will have 3 prescriptions.

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.
