A. If a die is rolled one time, classical probability would indicate that the probability of "two" should be 1/6. If the die is rolled 60 times and comes up "two" only 9 times, does this suggest that the die is "loaded"? Why or why not?

    You could estimate this probability as we did above with the Classical approach, or you could take the die and roll it a large number of times, say n = 1000, and count the actual number of times, out of those 1000 rolls of the die that you really obtained

    The author drilled holes into the die and loaded it by inserting lead weights, then rolled it 16 times to obtain a mean of 2.9375. Assume that the standard deviation of the outcome is 1.7078, which is the standard deviation for a fair die.

  • Hypothesis Testing of Mean & Proportion

    Loaded Die - When a fair die is rolled many times, the outcomes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are equally likely, so the mean of the outcomes should be 3.5.
