Concept explainers

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.

MAKE SURE YOU SELECT 2 ANSWERS FOR THIS QUESTION - Type of test and hypothesis. Professor Ratzo wonders if rats will run a maze faster for some kinds of foods than for others. He randomly assigns 30 rats to one of three conditions, 10 rats to each condition. Group 1 gets buttered bread at the end of the maze, Group 2 gets cheddar cheese, and Group 3 gets honey- glazed ham. The number of seconds each rat took to run the maze is recorded. The hypothesis is that type of food makes a difference in rat running time. Choose the type of test you should use to test this hypothesis? Then choose the correct hypotheses in symbol notation (or words if symbol is not appropriate).
