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.

Question

Definition Definition Probability of occurrence of a continuous random variable within a specified range. When the value of a random variable, Y, is evaluated at a point Y=y, then the probability distribution function gives the probability that Y will take a value less than or equal to y. The probability distribution function formula for random Variable Y following the normal distribution is: F(y) = P (Y ≤ y) The value of probability distribution function for random variable lies between 0 and 1.
