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.

Textbook Question

Chapter 9, Problem 9.9PTE

Suppose that whether it rains tomorrow depends on past weather conditions only through the past 2 days. Specifically, suppose that if it has rained yesterday and today, then it will rain tomorrow with probability .8; if it rained yesterday but not today, then it will rain tomorrow with probability .3; if it rained today but not yesterday, then it will rain tomorrow with probability .4; and if it has not rained either yesterday or today, then it will rain tomorrow with probability .2. What proportion of days does it rain?

Smokers and Non smokers In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 non-smokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day. During any month, there is a 5 probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 2 probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10 probability of quitting and a 10 probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is a 5 probability of quitting and a 10 probability of dropping to a pack or less per day. How many people will be in each group a in 1 month, b in 2 months, and c in 1 year?
