In a Geiger counter, a thin metallic wire at the center of a metallic tube is kept at a high voltage with respect to the metal tube. Ionizing radiation entering the tube knocks electrons off gas molecules or sides of the tube that then accelerate towards the center wire, knocking off even more electrons. This process eventually leads to an avalanche that is detectable as a current. A particular Geiger counter has a tube of radius R and the inner...

A researcher has found that pilots taking an over the counter antihistamine have poor reaction times. They performed an experiment on 22 pilots: 11 took the medication and 11 did not. Their reaction times to a command by Air Traffic Control was considered to be adequate or inadequate. Among those taking the medication, 8 were rated inadequate and 3 adequate. Among those not-taking the medication, 10 were rated adequate and only 1 inadequate. Construct a contingency table. Run the Chi-Square...
