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.

![### Polio Cases Data Analysis: Educational Exercise
The numbers of polio cases in the world are shown in the table for various years.
| Year | Number of Polio Cases (thousands) |
|-------|----------------------------------|
| 1988 | 350 |
| 1992 | 138 |
| 1996 | 32 |
| 2000 | 2 |
| 2005 | 3.2 |
| 2007 | 1.3 |
Let \( f(t) \) be the number of polio cases in thousands \( t \) years since 1980.
1. **Use a graphing calculator to draw a scattergram of the data.**
- **Question:** Is it better to model the data by using a linear or exponential model?
- **Answer:** [Select an answer]
2. **Find an equation of \( f \).**
- **Hint:** [Hint]
- **Equation:** \( f(t) = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \)
- **Instructions:** Round the coefficients to 4 decimal places.
- **Preview:** [Preview]
3. **Determine the rate of change.**
- **Question:** The number of polio cases is [Select an answer] by [Select an answer] per year.
4. **Predict the number of polio cases in 2020.**
- **Hint:** [Hint]
- **Prediction:** [Input box]
5. **Predict in which year there will be 1 case of polio.**
- **Hint:** [Hint]
- **Year:** [Input box]
6. **Find the approximate half-life of the number of polio cases.**
- **Hint:** [Hint]
- **Half-life:** \_\_\_\_\_\_ years
### Instructions:
- Use the information provided in the table to plot a scattergram on your graphing calculator.
- Determine whether a linear or exponential model best fits the data points.
- Use statistical methods to derive an equation that models the number of polio cases over time, rounding to four decimal places as specified.
- Based on this model, calculate and predict future values and determine key time points such as when there will be only one case of polio or when the half-life of the](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2d6663a1-5b52-4550-8eec-a90ad2bc5fd7%2F253c3aa1-eaa5-4453-ba06-7d9a48571149%2F8u2w98h.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
