Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans.Typically, only people with two copies of the sickle cell anemia gene show symptoms of the disease (genotype aa). People with at least one copy of the other allele of that gene usually show no symptoms (genotype AA or Aa). What is the probability that a child of two carriers (type Aa) has Sickle cell anemia (is type aa)
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.
