The lifetime of a bulb is modeled as a Poisson variable. You have two bulbs types A and B with expected lifetime 0.25 years and 0.5 years, respectively. When a bulb's life ends, it stops working. You start with new bulb of type A at the start of the year. When it stops working, you replace it with a bulb of type B. When it breaks, you replace with a type A bulb, then a type B bulb, and so on.

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.
