What is the expected number of female offspring?
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.
Consider the Asian stochastic beetle. Different females reproduce independently. Females have this probability model for their number of female offspring.
| Number of Female Offspring | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| Probability | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.5 |
