Concept explainers

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 re…

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.

Chapter 3.3, Problem 25MS

Logging cardinality. The function graphed here is the logarithmic function y = log x .

Notice how the y-axis is a vertical asymptote, that is, the graph gets closer and closer to the y-axis but never touches it. Use this graph to show that the collection of all positive real numbers has the same cardinality as the collection of all real numbers.
