Census data are often used to obtain probability distributions for various random variables. Census data for families in a particular state with a combined income of $50,000 or more show that 15% of these families have no children, 21% have one child, 29% have two children, and 35% have three children. From this information, construct the probability distribution for x, where x represents the number of children per family for this income group. (Give your answers correct to two decimal places.) P(0 children) = P(1 child) = P(2 children) = P(3 children) =
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.
Census data are often used to obtain
