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.

Textbook Question

Chapter 7, Problem 11CR

Basic Computation: Probability Given that x is a normal variable with mean μ = 47 and standard deviation σ = 6.2 , find

( a ) P ( x ≤ 60 ) ( b ) P ( x ≥ 50 ) ( c ) P ( 50 ≤ x ≤ 60 )

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?

A common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute. Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time. (These choices are made randomly and independently of each…
