You have a bowl with 100 pieces of paper inside, each with a person’s name written on it. It turns out that 50 of the names correspond to males and the other 50 to females. You reach inside and grab five pieces of paper. If X is the random number of male names you choose, is X binomially distributed? Why or why not?

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.
