Suppose a die is tossed 1200 times and a 6 comes up 431 times. (a) Find the empirical probability for a 6 to occur. (b) On the basis of a comparison of the empirical probability and the theoretical probability, do you think the die is fair or biased?
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.
