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.

QUESTION 2 Delta Airlines quotes a flight time of 4 hours, 3 minutes for a particular flight. Suppose we believe that actual flight times are uniformly distributed between 4 hours and 4 hours, 12 minutes. (a) Show the graph of the probability density function for flight time. The graph has a shaded area. The horizontal axis is labeled: x with the title: Flight Time in Minutes and has tickmarks labeled: 234, 240, 246, 252. The vertical axis is labeled: f(x), and has tickmarks labeled: 1/12, 1/6, 1/4. The shaded area is the region bounded by the horizontal axis and the following line segments. A 1/12 unit long vertical line segment begins at 240 on the horizontal axis. A 1/12 unit long vertical line segment begins at 252 on the horizontal axis.
