You’re about to get on a plane to Turkey. You want to know if it’s raining. You call (3) random friends who live there and ask each if it’s raining. Each friend has a (2/3) chance of telling you the truth and a (1/3) chance of messing with you by lying. All (3) friends tell you that “Yes” it is raining. Draw the tree samples and compute the probability that it’s actually raining in Turkey?

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.
