Suppose that an outbreak of cholera follows severe flooding in an isolated town of 3198 people. Initially (Day 0), 62 people are infected. Every day after, 15% of those still healthy fall ill. At the beginning of the first day (Day 1), how many people are still healthy? How many will fall ill during the first day? What is the total number of people infected after the first day
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.
Suppose that an outbreak of cholera follows severe flooding in an isolated town of 3198 people. Initially (Day 0), 62 people are infected. Every day after, 15% of those still healthy fall ill.
At the beginning of the first day (Day 1), how many people are still healthy?
How many will fall ill during the first day?
What is the total number of people infected after the first day
