The rate of allergies in children was 15% in 2002. A medical researcher is curious whether advances in medicine have reduced this proportion and decides to conduct a hypothesis test. In a random sample of 500 children, he finds that 65 of them have allergies. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test in questions #17 - #20. Compute the Z-score for this hypothesis test and round to two decimal places.
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.
