The probabil- ity that a heart transplant performed at the Medical Center is successful (that is, the patient survives 1 year or more after undergoing such an operation) is .7. Of six patients who have recently undergone such an operation, what is the probability that, 1 year from now, a. None of the heart recipients will be alive? b. Exactly three will be alive? c. At least three will be alive? d. All will be alive?
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.
