# Eleisha's Segment 32: Contingency Tables: A First Look

To Calculate

1. 20 our of 100 U.S. Senators are women, yet when the Senate formed an intramural baseball team of 9 people only 1 woman was chosen for the team. What is the probability of this occurring by chance? What is the p-value with which the null hypothesis "there is no discrimination against women Senators" can be rejected?

2. A large jelly bean jar has 20% red jelly beans, 30% blue, and 50% yellow. If 6 jelly beans are chosen at random, what is the chance of getting exactly 2 of each color? What is the name of this distribution?

This is a multinomial distribution.

$\displaystyle N = 6, p_r = 0.2, p_b = 0.3, \text{and } p_y = 0.5$

Want to calculate, P, where P:

$\displaystyle P = \text{Prob}(\text{2 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow}| N, p_r, p_b, p_y)$

3. A small jelly bean jar has 2 red jelly beans, 3 blue, and 5 yellow. If 6 jelly beans are chosen at random, what is the chance of getting exactly 2 of each color? What is the name of this distribution?
