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 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 4.4, Problem 9E

Two construction companies make bids of X and Y (in $100,000s) on a remodeling project. The joint pdf of X and Y is uniform on the space 2   < x   <   2.5 , 2   < y   < 2.3 .

If X and Y are within 0.1 of each other, the companies will be asked to rebid: otherwise, the low bidder will be awarded the contract. What is the probability that they will be asked to rebid?
