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.

The average speeds of cars on a highway are distributed according to a normal distribution. Today, John is on his way to work. As he enters the highway, he notices a car speeding by at 150 km/hr. Ten seconds later, another car speeds by at 160 km/hr. John concludes that today, cars must be going faster for some reason. A few minutes later, John gets into a minor accident. Once again, he concludes that it was inevitable - he got into the accident because cars were driving faster today. Explain what fallacies - if any-are involved in both of John's claims. Is John justified in his conclusions?
