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 re…
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.

Chapter 4.3, Problem 17E

Using a Distribution to Find Probabilities In Exercises 11–26, find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine whether the events are unusual. If convenient, use a table or technology to find the probabilities.

17. Glass Manufacturer A glass manufacturer finds that 1 in every 500 glass items produced is warped. Find the probability that (a) the first warped glass item is the tenth item produced, (b) the first warped glass item is the first, second, or third item produced, and (c) none of the first 10 glass items produced are defective.
