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.

Tennis Challenge In a recent U.S. Open tennis tournament, there were 879 challenges made by singles players, and 231 of them resulted in referee calls that were overturned. The accompanying table lists the results by gender.

Chapter 5, Problem 3CRE, Tennis Challenge In a recent U.S. Open tennis tournament, there were 879 challenges made by singles

a. If 1 of the 879 challenges is randomly selected, what is the probability that it resulted in an overturned call?

b. If one of the overturned calls is randomly selected, what is the probability that the challenge was made by a woman?

c. If two different challenges are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that they both resulted in an overturned call.

d. If 1 of the 879 challenges is randomly selected, find the probability that it was made by a man or was upheld with an overturned call.

e. If one of the challenges is randomly selected, find the probability that it was made by a man, given that the challenge was upheld with an overturned call.

You are planning an experiment to determine the effect of the brand of gasoline and the weight of a car on gas mileage measured in miles per gallon. You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study? Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more. Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again. Choose a gasoline at random, and run the car with this gasoline at…
