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.

Students have asked these similar questions
The annual cost C (in thousands of dollars) and revenue R (in thousands of dollars) for a company each year from 2010 through 2016 can be approximated by the models C = 256 9t + 1.1t2 and 341 + 3.2t R = | where t is the year, with t = 10 corresponding to 2010. (a) Write a function P that represents the annual profit of the company. P(t)
Productivity-diminishing returns Suppose the pro- ductivity P of an individual worker (in number of items produced per hour) is a function of the number of hours of training f according to 951 + 2700 Find the number of hours of training at which the rate of change of productivity is maximized. (That is, find the point of diminishing returns.)
Differentiate the function.
