Your computer is in serious need of repair. You have estimated that the breakdowns occur on average 3.5 times per week. If you are right and the breakdown variable is a Poisson distribution, calculate the following. a. The probability that for an entire week your computer runs with no problems. b. The probability of getting only 1 shutdown. c. The probability of getting 5 shutdowns.
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.
