You are assigned to the jury of a paternity case; determining whether the the child’s guardian father is actually his biological father. After listening to all the witnesses regarding the child’s family, you are 75% convinced that the guardian father is the child’s biological father. Additionally, you have been presented with laboratory blood tests indicating that the child has blood type B. The laboratory further provided population statistics stating that (a) If the guardian father is assumed to be the biological father, the child has 50% chance of having blood type B. (b) If the guardian father is assumed to NOT be the biological father, the child has 0.91% chance to have a blood type OTHER than B. How confident are you(what is the probability) that the guarding father is the child’s biological father?
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.
