Loaded Die The author drilled a hole in a die and filled it with a lead weight, then proceeded to roll it 200 times. Here are the observed frequencies for the outcomes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively: 27, 31, 42, 40, 28, and 32. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the outcomes are not equally likely. Does it appear that the loaded die behaves differently than a fair die?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is not enough evidence to conclude that theoutcomes are not equally likely.

This indicates that the loaded die is not different from a fair die.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A loaded die is rolled 200 times, and the outcomes on the die are recorded each time.

02

Check the requirements for the test

Assume the sample data is taken from larger population. Also, since the frequency counts are tested and if each expected frequency is at least 5, the requirements of the test are met.

The expected values are computed as,

Let E denote the expected frequencies of the outcomes.

It is expected that the die is fair.

Therefore, the probability of occurrence of each outcome should be equal to:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}p = \frac{1}{6}\\ = 0.16667\end{aligned}\)

Since the die is rolled 200 times,\(n = 200\).

Now, the expected frequency for all the six outcomes is equal to:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}E = np\\ = 200\left( {\frac{1}{6}} \right)\\ = 33.3333\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the chi-square test is applicable.

03

Conduct the hypothesis test

The null hypothesis for conducting the given test is as follows:

\({H_o}:{p_1} = {p_2} = {p_3} = {p_4} = {p_5} = {p_6}\)

The alternative hypothesis is as follows:

\({H_a}:\)At least one proportion is not equal to the others.

The test is right-tailed.

Let O denote the observed frequencies of the outcomes.

The following values are obtained:

\(\begin{aligned}{l}{O_1} = 27\\{O_2} = 31\\{O_3} = 42\\{O_4} = 40\\{O_5} = 28\\{O_6} = 32\end{aligned}\)

The table below shows the necessary calculations:

0.053333

The value of the test statistic is equal to:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{\chi ^2} = \sum {\frac{{{{\left( {O - E} \right)}^2}}}{E}} \\ = 1.203333 + 0.163333 + ...... + 0.053333\\ = 5.86\end{aligned}\)

Thus,\({\chi ^2} = 5.86\).

For 6 outcomes, k is equal to 6.

The degrees of freedom for\({\chi ^2}\)is computed below:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}df = k - 1\\ = 6 - 1\\ = 5\end{aligned}\)

04

Make a decision

The critical value of\({\chi ^2}\)at\(\alpha = 0.05\)with 5 degrees of freedom is equal to 11.0705.

The p-value is computed as,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}p - value = P\left( {{\chi ^2} > 5.86} \right)\\ = 0.3201\end{aligned}\)

Since the test statistic value is less than the critical value and the p-value is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis is failed to be rejected.

05

State the conclusion

There is not enough evidence to conclude that the outcomes are not equally likely.

A die is fair if all the outcomes are equally likely. The result indicates that the loaded die is not different from a fair die.

In a study of high school students at least 16 years of age, researchers obtained survey results summarized in the accompanying table (based on data from 鈥淭exting While Driving and Other Risky Motor Vehicle Behaviors Among U.S. High School Students,鈥 by O鈥橫alley, Shults, and Eaton, Pediatrics,Vol. 131, No. 6). Use a 0.05 significance level to

Police Calls The police department in Madison, Connecticut, released the following numbers of calls for the different days of the week during February that had 28 days: Monday (114); Tuesday (152); Wednesday (160); Thursday (164); Friday (179); Saturday (196); Sunday (130). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the different days of the week have the same frequencies of police calls. Is there anything notable about the observed frequencies?

Do World War II Bomb Hits Fit a Poisson Distribution? In analyzing hits by V-1 buzz bombs in World War II, South London was subdivided into regions, each with an area of 0.25\(k{m^2}\). Shown below is a table of actual frequencies of hits and the frequencies expected with the Poisson distribution. (The Poisson distribution is described in Section 5-3.) Use the values listed and a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the actual frequencies fit a Poisson distribution. Does the result prove that the data conform to the Poisson distribution?
